Bernard Lama (born April 7 1963 in Saint-Symphorien, French Guiana) is a former French footballer who played as a goalkeeper, spending a number of years in goal for Paris Saint-Germain. His debut with the France national team was on February 17, 1993 against Israel in a 4-0 victory, and he would go on to win 44 caps for his nation. He played in the Euro 1996 finals, and was a substitute at the Euro 2000 finals.
Lama also received a two month ban for failing a drug test in 1998. It was reported that it was the consumption of cannabis which led to the ban. This led to Lama losing his place in the French national team to Fabian Barthez.
