Forward Gabigol was sentenced to a two-year suspension for fraud in the collection during an anti-doping test in April 2023. The Flamengo player< /a> was judged this Monday (25) by the Anti-Doping Sports Court and will be sidelined until April 2025. The final result was 5x4. An appeal can be made to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), but there is a great risk for the athlete.


According to specialist Andrei Kampff, appealing to the CAS has a kind of catch. In a post on /p>


This means that Gabigol< /a> and his defense team need to be very sure that they will be able to prove their innocence to the CAS referees. A notorious case in this regard occurred with Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero, who was punished by FIFA with a one-year suspension for doping and had the sentence increased to 14 months by CAS.




GABIGOL AWAITS SUSPENSIVE EFFECT

Andrei Kampff explained the options that Gabigol has at the moment. The Flamengo striker cannot even train with his club teammates. Recently, Fluminense defender Manoel went through the same situation when he was punished for doping by Conmebol. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel for the red and black player.

Kampff highlighted that Gabigol can request and obtain a suspensive effect from the CAS while the appeal is not judged. According to the expert, who is a lawyer and journalist, it is possible that the answer is positive, but not likely. Still on the topic, Kampff stated that success in the appeal depends on several factors.

He wrote: “It's difficult to talk about chances. It will also depend on the selection of referees who will analyze the panel, and their profile. Brazilian court decision of 5 x 4 shows how the issue divides experts. But the athlete has a team of stars taking care of the case. There are chances.”

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) Prosecutor's Office has charged Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique with alleged match-fixing. In response, the number 27's defense issued a statement to the 'Coluna do Fla' portal, refuting the accusation.


Flamengo's Bruno Henrique defended: "He was punished with a card in a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul"
WHAT DOES BRUNO HENRIQUE'S DEFENSE SAY?


" Bruno Henrique was booked for a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul. The claim that receiving a card for this play—in which there wasn't even a foul—was intended to influence the outcome of the match or the championship is absurd . The Superior Court of Justice (STJD) itself had previously dismissed a case based on the same allegations. The athlete's defense will demonstrate that this new complaint should also be dismissed."


CAN BRUNO HENRIQUE PLAY AGAINST CEARÁ?

Despite the complaint, Bruno Henrique remains free to play until the case is judged and should be included normally for the game between Flamengo and Ceará, this Sunday (3), at 6:30 pm, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão, at Arena Castelão.


IN WHICH ARTICLES WAS IT FRAMED?

The STJD Prosecutor's Office framed the player under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD):

  • Article 243, §1: provides for a suspension of 360 to 720 days for those who commit serious infractions related to sports ethics.
  • Article 243-A: deals with conduct intended to influence the results of matches, events or competitions, with a penalty of 12 to 24 games suspension.

The complaint will still be analyzed, and the athlete will have the right to a full defense before any trial.

Flamengo's transfer window isn't over yet . Football director José Boto is still looking for two specific reinforcements to further strengthen the squad led by Filipe Luís . The club has already signed five players, but the board believes there are still gaps to be filled. This information comes from the 'GE' portal.


ATTACK REMAINS A PRIORITY


The main movement continues to be for Fiorentina striker Lucas Beltrán . A deal with the Italian club is already in place, and now the only thing left to do is convince the player. The Argentine, who was initially reluctant about a return to South American football, is beginning to welcome the club's offer .


DEFENSE IS ALSO ON THE RADAR

In addition to a striker, Flamengo is seeking another defender. The need has been evident in recent games. With Danilo injured, only Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira remain as reliable options . Since Filipe Luís rarely uses the youngsters from the youth academy, the starting duo's fatigue has been noticeable—especially in the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, where their physical and mental fatigue was evident in the goal conceded. Although signing a defender is not considered a priority, the topic is being discussed internally, and José Boto is evaluating options on the market.


WINDOW IS OPEN UNTIL SEPTEMBER

Flamengo still has time to finalize new deals. The transfer window in Brazil opened on July 10th and will remain open until September 2nd. Despite this, the board believes that the sooner the reinforcements are finalized , the sooner coach Filipe Luís will be able to count on a full squad.

FLAMENGO ADD FIVE REINFORCEMENTS

So far, the club has signed five players : Saúl Ñíguez and Samuel Lino, both from Atlético Madrid; Emerson Royal, a right-back from Milan; Jorginho, a former Arsenal midfielder, signed during the Club World Cup transfer window; and Jorge Carrascal, a Colombian midfielder from Dynamo Moscow, who is already in Rio and should be officially confirmed soon. With the transfer window open until early September, more news is expected in the coming days.
