Last Tuesday night (2), Gabigol's defense went to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in an attempt to obtain a suspension effect for the attacker. In addition to the number 10 team, Flamengo is also doing everything possible to free the player. This way, Marcos Braz, vice-president of football, updated the athlete's situation and confirmed that the club is also in the fight.
" Flamengo this week is working together with its lawyers, making homework so that we can reverse this in the International Committee. It is our hope. I think there was a mistake in this punishment. Especially because his (Gabigol) test was negative, he did blood and urine tests, he showed absolutely no type of substance. It was zero", said Marcos Braz, in an interview with Coluna do Fla this Tuesday (02), in Bogotá, Colombia.
" So we believe there was an error in this punishment and we hope Let the International Committee review the situation and Gabigol be with us as soon as possible. Flamengo's lawyer is going to Switzerland, where the CAS is based, so that we can reverse the situation. In Flamengo's defense, the club requests immediate suspensive effect so that the player can be fit to play as quickly as possible", concluded Flamengo's vice-president of football.
GABIGOL CASE< /b>
Gabigol was denounced at the end of 2023 after failing to treat well the professionals responsible for carrying out anti-doping tests who went to Ninho do Urubu. Still according to them, he made the procedure difficult and did not wanted to urinate while being watched. Furthermore, he would have handed over the bottle with the lid open, which is not permitted.
Thus, Gabigol was tried in March and received a two-year punishment. However, as the case took place in April 2023, the Court understands that the sentence must be served by April 2025. Therefore, the attacker will attempt the suspensive effect this Tuesday (2).
EMSBAKING FOR THE FLAMENGO
With Gabigol still suspended, Flamengowill have to play some matches without the striker. Thus, Mais Querido returns to the field next Sunday (7), at 5 pm, against Nova Iguaçu, at Maracanã.

Current coach of the Honduras National Team , Reinaldo Rueda was remembered by Rodrigo Caetano, former director of Flamengo. The coach had a stint at Mais Querido and caused outrage among fans in 2018 , when he made a "soap opera" about his permanence.
In an interview with "Charla Podcast", Rodrigo Caetano was asked about what actually happened in the renewal negotiations between Flamengo and Reinaldo Rueda , where Chile entered the fight to hire the coach. Thus, the former red-black director explained that he demanded a position from the coach on the case.
Rodrigo talks about the behind-the-scenes of the renewal with Rueda: "There was a situation where they said he was going to take over Chile. I held him accountable."
He continued: "I demanded and said ' Look, we need to have a definition if this is going to happen '. He, obviously, denied it until the end", said the current Cbf director.
According to Rodrigo Caetano, the former Flamengo coach called him to communicate his desire to meet with the club - a meeting in which he communicated his dismissal and the payment of his fine by the Chilean national team was resolved. According to the director, the coach was shaken by the runner-up positions in 2017.
"I think that those two consecutive runner-up positions, in the Copa do Brasil for Cruzeiro and in the Sul-Americana for Independiente, made him a little wary about the continuity and the level of tolerance he would have for the following year ," revealed Rodrigo.
After Rueda's departure, Flamengo was unable to win any titles at that time. However, the following year, in 2019, the Mais Querido won the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship after the arrival of a new board and Jorge Jesus.
