Court auditor guarantees that he followed the code in the suspension of Gabigol, from Flamengo

How did it all really happen?

O Flamengo is in the middle of the finalization process to face Nova Iguaçu in the finals of the Carioca Championship, but a confirmed situation ended up drawing even more attention from everyone in Brazil.

Currently booking with Tite, Gabigol was accused of making it difficult to carry out a surprise anti-doping test on April 8, 2023, at Ninho do Urubu, contrary to the guidelines since the arrival of the anti-doping team at the scene, around 8:40 am.

Unlike all athletes, shirt 10 did not address the professionals before training and also ignored them after the activity, going straight to lunch, being treated with disrespect and irritation.

If all this wasn’t enough, the attacker also committed other irregularities, such as having gone to the bathroom during the exam without the presence of one of the inspectors, in addition to having given the pot without the lid.

Auditor commented on the matter:

After being judged, the athlete was suspended for two years, surprising everyone behind the scenes in Flamengo and also some fansas many believed that this would not happen.

According to Ivan Pacheco, one of the TJ-AD auditorsin an interview given to the Uol portal, any type of persecution of the attacker was denied and explained how the penalty was calculated:

“The penalty is based on the code. All procedural and legal rites were complied with. No one invented this sentence for Gabigol, no special trial was made because it is him. The rite followed strictly in accordance with the regulations”declared Ivan.

“The control, collection of samples, the entire procedure from notifying athletes to sealing the samples and sending them to the laboratory follow international standards. According to the control officers who collected Gabriel’s samples, he did not maintain this standard. They characterized it as attempted fraud“he completed.

The parties will still appeal:

It is worth remembering that there will still be a defense in Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), aiming to reach a suspensive effect to give the attacker playing conditions. However, if he is denied, he will have to stay away from the field for around a year, as the punishment begins to take effect on April 8, 2023.

“There was a delay between the prosecutor’s office making the accusation and arriving at the anti-doping court. Another article, 163, says that between the complaint and the trial, if there is a significant delay without any reason on the part of the athlete, the sentence will be served from the day the tests are collected.”he said, completing:

“Therefore, he will have to comply until April of next year. The athlete did not participate in the delay, so he has that right“said Ivan Pacheco, trying to make it clear that there is still room for reduction.

please note that Flamengo leaders still believe that there was excessive rigidity in this punishment for shirt 10who would not have committed fraud, but rather bad behavior.
