Flamengo, one of the most successful clubs and with the biggest fans in Brazil, tends to deal with the constant expectation of victories and good performance. When these objectives are not achieved, reactions are quick to emerge.

The defeat left the team in a delicate situation in the competition, which makes the second leg even more decisive. The need for a positive result in the second match against Peñarol is not only to advance in the competition, but also to calm the spirits of a fan base that is increasingly demanding.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decided to challenge the panel that gave effect suspension for Gabigol. Therefore, the Flamengo striker is free to play and will be selected for this Saturday's game (20), against Criciúma, in Brasília, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão.

Therefore, the CAS decision partially accepted the Union's request to annul Gabigol's process. Therefore, without challenging the suspensive effect, the decision remains valid and the player is released until the final judgment. Flamengo and the player have already been notified about the decision.

In the last three days, after a request from attacker's defense, the court decided to release the athlete to continue active. The allegation is that the player could not have his career harmed by a technical issue in the trial. The CAS made official this Friday the partial annulment of the process, maintaining the suspensive effect on the athlete, but changing the panel of referees.

Punished in Brazil in March by Anti-Doping Sports Court of Justice (TJD-AD) , Gabigol decided to appeal to the CAS. In the Swiss court, the judging panel is made up of three arbitrators: one appointed by the athlete's defense, one by the CAS and theoretically one by the Union.

However, the Brazilian government requested the annulment of the process with the argument that he was not properly notified and, therefore, did not appoint an arbitrator for the trial. Thus, at the time of the suspensive effect, on April 30, and until this Friday there were two representatives from CAS and one from the player. With the annulment, the two arbitrators appointed by the court, Dolf Segaar and James Drake, resigned.

The Union will have until the 29th to appoint a representative to the new panel. CAS will also appoint a new arbitrator. These two, as indicated by Gabigol, will decide on maintaining the suspensive effect and will subsequently judge the case, which should take place by October.
