LONDON (Reuters) - Stoke City striker Saido Berahino served an eight-week suspension before he joined from West Bromwich Albion last month, manager Mark Hughes told reporters on Friday.

Hughes was responding to a report in the Daily Mail newspaper that the Burundi-born 23-year-old had tested positive out of competition in September for a recreational drug.
