In January 2009 Federação Portuguesa de Basquetebol (FPB), the Portuguese Basketball Federation, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Player after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance cannabis.
Previously in 2003 the Player was suspended for a 1 year period after he tested positive in Italy for cannabis.
In September 2009 the FPB imposed a sanction of 1 year ineligibility.
In October 2009 the Player was heard for the FIBA Disciplinary Panel.
The Player stated he had smoked cannabis, had no intention to enhance his performance and expressed his regret for the violation committed.
Considering this is Player’s second anti-doping rule violation the FIBA Disciplinary Panel decides a 1 year period of ineligibility.
