PVC said that the Mais Querido player lacked “professionalism” in the case that suspended him from football until 2025
|
Out of football due to suspension until April 2025 for trying to cheat an anti-doping test, Gabigol was criticized by Paulo Vinícius Coelho, the PVC, who in his UOL Esporte column said that the player lacked “respect and professionalism” for professionals who went to carry out the collections. For PVC, Gabigol set a new precedent with his attitude, in addition to making it clear that times have changed, especially on the issue of doping.
Also according to the commentator, both Flamengo and Gabigol may have “reason to rupture”, as the link between the parties ends in December 2024 and the athlete may no longer enter the field.
“With three months to be free for a pre-contract, both Gabriel and Flamengo they will have to deal with it with absolute peace of mind. Both sides may have reasons for ruptures”, said PVC, who continued:
“Flamengo due to Gabigol's lack of professionalism, whose lack of respect for the work of anti-doping professionals will cause embezzlement for the club. Gabriel, if the club considers suspending the contract. Pardon the pun, the decision would be legal, but it is not legal... Legally correct, not at all generous.”
PVC also recalled that anti-doping tests also serve to “protect the stars”, as in this case by Gabigol. He also questioned and showed that he did not understand why the player refused to take the test at the requested time, in addition to not having done what was requested by the agent who carried out the surprise test at Flamengo.
“ Anti-doping tests protect the star, that is, they serve to guarantee that Gabigol will play against clean rivals, without any additives. Gabriel got upset for who knows what reason and created a problem for himself and for Flamengo”, made clear PVC.
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
Mais Querido player was accused of attempted fraud in the doping test, which is leaving him two years away from the field
|
The Court of Sports Anti-Doping Justice (TJD-AD) ordered on March 25th the two-year suspension of Gabigol, from Flamengo, for attempted doping test fraud. According to "ge", the auditors were unanimous that the player had behaved inappropriately, being "rude" and "rude" towards the collectors, but they disagreed on the punishment.
The vote was fierce. The vote of the president of the court, João Antonio de Albuquerque e Souza, was the last and decided Gabigol's conviction. The president highlighted that the player "left no doubt about an intention to prevent the collection and to affect or make analysis of the sample impossible" and classified the penalty as a "sum of four non-conformity behaviors".
The case's rapporteur was Daniel Chierighini. He highlighted that Gabigol's behavior "may work against the athletes." Among the four votes against the suspension was that of the vice-president of the court, Selma Fátima Melo Rocha. She pointed out that the collectors' statements were "full of contradictions and take away all credibility" from the Brazilian Doping Control Association.< /p>
Gabigol awaits the ruling on the suspensive effect at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Three referees participate in the trial: one appointed by the athlete's defense; appointed by the CAS. The trial may take place at any time. The parties will be notified of the outcome through an official statement from the court.
THE CASE Gabigol completes one month of suspension on Thursday (25). Away from the field for having been accused of fraud in an anti-doping test, the attacker awaits the position of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the suspension effect. The prediction is that the definition will take place at the ‘turn of the month’, between the last days of April and the first days of May.SUBSCRIBE NEWSLETTER
