This Monday (25), as we know, the Anti-Doping Court of Sports Justice (TJD-AD) suspended Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, for two years after the athlete cheated on an anti-doping test. Because the last time a Flamengo player received punishment of this type, the club decided to charge the player himself.

Flamengo took to court a request to receive all the amounts paid to the Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero during the period of his suspension. Punished in the second half of 2017, Guerrero no longer played for Rubro-negro until the end of his contract in 2018.



The club wanted to receive around R$1.8 million, but the court ruled that Guerrero had the right to receive his wages. In Gabigol's case, if the punishment is maintained, there will be almost ten months of wages to be paid (including the 13th). The striker's contract ends at the end of 2024.

WHAT HAPPENED? Gabigol was accused of hindering the exam. Even if he did so and tested negative, according to the article, the conduct described by the collection officers constitutes "fraud or attempted fraud of any part of the control process" and, therefore, the attacker was framed under article 122 of the Brazilian Anti-Doping Code.

One of the reports in the complaint refers to the attacker's delay in taking the test and his failure to comply with the instructions. With the exception of Gabigol, Flamengo players took the exam before training at 10am. The incident occurred on April 8, 2023 at Ninho do Urubu.

According to those responsible for the examination, the player did not address them before training, ignored them after the activity and went to lunch, treated the team disrespectfully, he did not follow the indicated procedures, he took the collection vessel without informing anyone, he was irritated when he saw that the officer accompanied him to the bathroom for the collection and, in the end, he handed over the open vessel, going against the instructions received.< /p>

The "marriage" between Tite and Flamengo officially came to an end this Monday (30), with the announcement of the coach's resignation. Thus, the coach ends his time at Rubro-Negro after 70 games, with a 64.7% success rate, in addition to having won a state title and suffered a disappointing elimination in the Libertadores da América.

Tite took over Flamengo on October 9, 2023, after Jorge Sampaoli left. The former Brazilian national team coach signed a contract until the end of 2024, but his departure comes three months ahead of schedule.



During his time in charge of Flamengo, Tite accumulated 70 matches, totaling 41 wins, 13 draws and 16 defeats. Under his management, the team scored 109 goals and conceded 50. He also led the team to win the Campeonato Carioca undefeated.



Despite a promising start, Flamengo's performances under Tite's command did not please the majority of the fans. The team, which led the Brasileirão for a few rounds, began to oscillate and currently occupies fourth place with 48 points, nine behind leader Botafogo, who has 57.


Elimination in the Libertadores

Three-time champion of the Libertadores, Flamengo entered the 2024 edition as one of the favorites and top seed in Group E. However, the performance of the team in the group stage fell below expectations, resulting in a second-place finish. In the round of 16, Flamengo beat Bolívar (BOL) 2-1 on aggregate, but was eliminated in the quarter-finals after being defeated by Peñarol (URU) without managing to score a goal.

< br> Departure of the Technical Committee

In addition to Tite, the entire technical committee is also leaving Flamengo. Among the professionals leaving the club are assistants Cleber Xavier, Matheus Bachi, César Sampaio and Vinícius Bergantin, physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian and performance analyst Lucas Oliveira.
