Despite not agreeing with the punishment of Gabigol, who was suspended for two years for attempting to cheat an anti-doping test, Zinho criticized the stance of the attacker Flamengo. Participating in “ESPN FC” this Monday (24), the former player spoke about the topic and condemned the behavior of Camisa 10.
“I'm not here defending Gabigol, as a lawyer of Gabigol and I am not an accuser either. I think the penalty is too great, as he did not test positive. It's the behavior, the attitude, that's reprehensible. He threw a star attack and has to stop it. The guy got there, all the athletes complied and he didn't want to do it", began Zinho.
"Gabigol didn't want to answer, he didn't show morale, he didn't pay attention, he treated the professionals who were there badly and this leads to in this punishment now. I think it's heavy because it wasn't a positive test, now he would be punished in some way. The guys stayed there waiting for the entire training session to take place, for him to have lunch and then take the test. And he also didn’t like being accompanied in the bathroom”, he said.
Gabigol would have followed the recommendation of Flamengo’s doctor
What would be a supposed “attack of Gabigol's star, in fact, may have just been the recommendation of Flamengo's own professionals. According to information from former player Caio Ribeiro, the attacker would have followed the instructions of doctor Márcio Tannure, who would have informed the anti-doping team that Camisa 10 had already started his pre-training.
“When These people from the anti-doping test arrived at the club, Gabigol had already started his training. His pre-training, which is stipulated individually for each athlete. This would cause changes in the exam if he did it with the players, because he had already done the weight training part. So, for you to reset your body and give cleaner feedback on the exam, you would have to wait two hours”;
“Instructed by Tannure, Flamengo's doctor, who would have informed the anti-doping test staff: ' Look, he started work in the weight room, so we need to wait two hours and then he will take the exam, like everyone else has already done.' What is the difference? The other players arrived after the exam. When you arrived, Gabigol had already started work”, stated Caio.

Flamengo continues preparations for the duel against Juventude , next Sunday (14), in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. In training, coach Filipe Luís has rotated the squad and given space to young people from Ninho do Urubu, among them Ryan Roberto , an attacking midfielder of just 17 years old, considered one of the main jewels of the red-black base.
In the activity this Monday (8), held at CT Ninho do Urubu, Ryan trained with the professionals, participating in the technical and tactical work led by the coach. This was the first time that the jewel joined coach Filipe Luís' team .
Filipe Luís isn't new to including young players in the first team's activities. Before taking over the senior team, he worked with Flamengo 's under-17 and under-20 teams, winning important titles such as the Rio Under-17 Cup and the 2024 Under-20 World Cup , which he won against Olympiacos at the Maracanã stadium. Therefore, the coach is well acquainted with the club's promising talent.
Considered one of the biggest bets in the youth academy, Ryan Roberto already has a contract until 2027 and a release clause set at 50 million euros (around R$318 million), as a way of protecting himself from possible approaches from European football.
The youngster was part of the squad that won the U-20 World Cup for the second time against Barcelona, although he wasn't used by coach Bruno Pivetti . With the recent departures of Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves, Ryan should gain more space in the U-20s and, who knows, pave the way for opportunities in the senior squad.
