Gabigol's two-year sentence for doping test fraud took everyone involved by surprise. With the help of Flamengo, the attacker's defense defined a strategy to reverse the punishment received by the Anti-Doping Court of Sports Justice (TJDA).
According to information released by 'ESPN', the defense line of Gabigol passes by the security cameras on the CT Ninho do Urubu's internal circuit. The main idea is to show that the attacker was present at the Training Center at the scheduled exam time and, as a result, there was a contradiction in the officers' testimony.
In Flamengo's version, Gabigol performed at Ninho do Urubu at 8am (Brasília time), while members of the ABCD (Brazilian Doping Control Authority) arrived at 9am (Brasília time). According to reports, an official from the organization confirmed that he saw urine coming out of the athlete's urethra, ruling out any type of technical fraud.
Gabigol's delay in taking the exam may have been due to medical interference from the club. This is because, according to reports, the attacker received instructions from Flamengo professionals to collect urine between exercises.
Backed with evidence, Gabigol intends to seek the suspensive effect from the CAS (Competence of the Arbitration Court ). The defense base of Flamengo's number 10 goes against the possible contradiction of one of the professionals in relation to the officer's statement in which he claims to have seen the moment the player urinated.
Until the situation is resolved, Gabigol is punished for two years for attempted anti-doping fraud. Therefore, the attacker will be left out of Carioca's final against Nova Iguaçu, at Maracanã. Finally, the player should also be absent from Flamengo's debut in the Libertadores da América.
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.

This last Thursday (23) the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) defined that Gabigol's trial will take place on June 7th. Remembering that the attacker is under suspension, as he was convicted of attempted fraud in an anti-doping test. However, the player's defense is confident of acquittal.
It is worth remembering that on February 25th, the Anti-Doping Court of Sports Justice (TJD-AD) decided to suspend Gabigol until April 7th, 2025 At the time, the court sentenced the Mais Querido for attempted fraud in the anti-doping test carried out on April 8, 2023.
However, Gabigol's defense managed to obtain a suspensive effect with the CAS, which had not yet set a date for a new trial. Thus, according to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, after five weeks, the court unanimously decided to grant the suspensive effect to the attacker.
GABIGOL'S TRIALThe referees who will judge Gabigol will be the same people who appreciated the suspensive effect on the player. There are three in total: one nominated by number 99, another by the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) and the last, who presides over the session, defined by CAS itself.
Thus, the case involving the player can have three outcomes. They are: acquittal, maintenance of the suspension period or reduction of punishment. In this way, the attacker lives with the expectation of being acquitted.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAMEWith Gabigol still available, Tite leads the activities at Ninho do Urubu this Sunday (26), focusing on the Libertadores. Mais Queridoreturns to the field next Tuesday (28), at 9pm, in a match against Millonarios. The game will be valid for the last round of the Libertadores group stage.
