On Tuesday afternoon, a piece of news took over the Flamengo news. This is because the CAS would have canceled Gabigol's suspension effect and with that, the attacker would be suspended again, that is, he would not be able to play with the Flamengo shirt. 


Several websites, newspapers and social media accounts are reporting on the matter. However, when contacted by the press, Bichara Neto, Gabriel Barbosa's lawyer, was very succinct in his response and said: “There was no such annulment. I am unaware of this fact.” The player's representative's statement was made to journalist Raisa Simplicio.


Therefore, according to information provided by the "mundo rubro-negro" portal, if there were a CAS decision annulling the suspensive effect that allows Gabigol to continue playing, the Brazilian Anti-Doping Control Authority (ABCD) should NECESSARY be notified.




Therefore, the information conveyed that Gabigol can no longer play with the Flamengo shirt is unfounded However, if the suspensive effect has actually been lifted, Gabigol will be prevented from playing for Flamengo and will be absent from the team again. In March, the player was sentenced to two years for attempted fraud in an anti-doping test, but was successful in the CAS. a release to resume activities.

With the process annulled, the penalty returns to the beginning. The regulation states that the suspension will come into effect from the date of collection of the material, carried out in April 2023. Therefore, at this time, Gabi will return and stay away from the field until April 2025.

One of Corinthians ' greatest idols, goalkeeper Cássio has a special chapter in Flamengo's recent history, even though he never wore the red-and-black jersey. In 2020, his performance in Corinthians' draw against Internacional was crucial in the Rio de Janeiro club's Brasileirão title victory.


In the final round of that championship, Flamengo and Internacional were neck and neck for the trophy. Flamengo lost to São Paulo at Morumbi Stadium and, to retain the trophy , depended on a slip-up from their Rio Grande do Sul rival. At Beira-Rio Stadium, Corinthians held on for a draw thanks to Cássio's saves, preventing the Colorado victory and confirming the title for Mengão.


The episode has remained etched in the memories of Flamengo fans. In a recent interaction, a Flamengo influencer reminded the goalkeeper of the feat. " You know you're a national idol, right?" he asked. In a relaxed tone, Cássio replied: "Yes, we won that title, didn't we? Two thousand and…?" The fan added: "2020 !"


GOALKEEPER STANDS OUT AGAIN

Last Thursday (2), in a duel valid for the Brazilian Championship, Cássio was once again highlighted against Flamengo, now defending Cruzeiro . The goalkeeper made important saves at Maracanã , guaranteeing a goalless draw and frustrating the red-black team's search for three more points.


FLAMENGO X BAHIA

With no time to lament the result, Flamengo is already concentrating its efforts on the next match of the competition. This Sunday (5), the team led by Filipe Luís faces Bahia, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The match will be valid for the 27th round and will be broadcast exclusively on the Premiere channel.
