Red-blacks compared two-year sentence for number 10 with lesser punishments for players who tested positive
|
Gabigol is suspended from football for two years. The Flamengo striker was tried and convicted this Monday (25) by the Anti-Doping Sports Court (CDA). The sentence was handed down after a 5×4 score in favor of conviction. On social media, Flamengo fans complained about the severity of the sentence. There is still an appeal.
Gabigol was convicted based on article 122 of the Brazilian Anti-Doping Code (CBA), which deals with fraud in the process of collecting samples to be tested. The Flamengo striker was accused of hindering collection before training in April 2023. He is suspended until April 2025, as the court considered that the sentence begins on the day of collection.
On social media, Flamengo fans considered the two-year suspension sentence too severe. The red-blacks recalled that Gabigol tested negative in the exam that he was accused of trying to defraud. And that he took a blood test, which was considered much more reliable. Finally, fans compared Gabigol's sentence with sentences applied to players who tested positive.
The two most cited examples were defender Manoel, from Fluminense, and striker Paolo Guerrero, then at Flamengo. In the case of the Brazilian, he was punished by Conmebol for presenting the substance ostarine. The sentence was eight months, in October 2023. Manoel has already returned to play for the tricolor.
In 2017, Paolo Guerrero was found to be anti-doping after Peru's 2018 World Cup qualifying game. The test revealed the presence of benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine. The initial sentence was one year, but was then increased to 14 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Guerrero appealed to the Swiss courts and played the World Cup under suspension, which was later revoked. He only returned to acting in 2019.

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
