Berahino did not play for former club West Brom between September and January, when he joined Stoke for 12m. "To be banned for something you really haven't done is hard to take," the 23-year-old told BBC's Football Focus. He claims the level of drugs found was "really low", which he says proves there was no intent on his behalf.
