In April and May 2011 the Brazilian Cycling Confederation (CBC) has reported anti-doping rule violations against 3 cyclists after their samples tested positive for prohibited substances:
- the Athlete Rogério dos Reis for the substance Methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine);
- the Athlete Edson Marcos de Carvalho Jr for the substance Stanozolol; and
- the Athlete Fábio José Miguel Ribeiro for the substances Cannabis and Methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athletes filed statements in their defence and were heard for the CBC Anti-Doping Commission (CAD-CBC).
The Athlete Edson Marcos de Carvalho Jr denied the intentional use of the substance Stanozolol and asserted that a supplement he had purchased and used was the source of the positive test without any evidence in support of his assertion.
The Athlete Fábio José Miguel Ribeiro denied also the intentional use and explained that the supplement Jack3D he had used was the source of the positive test. Further he had used a product as treatment for his condition. Only afterwards he became aware that both these products contained the prohibited substances Methylhexaneamine and Cannabis.
The CBC Anti-Doping Commission (CAD-CBC) finds that the test result of the Athletes’ samples established the presence of prohibited substances and accordingly that they committed anti-doping rule violations.
Therefore the CAD-CBC decides on 23 May 2011:
1.) To impose a fine and a 6 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete Rogério dos Reis starting on the date of the notification i.e. on 4 May 2011;
2.) To impose a fine and a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete Edson Marcos de Carvalho Jr starting on the date of the notification, i.e. on 20 April 2011;
3.) To impose a fine and a 8 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete Fábrio José Miguel Ribeiro starting on the date of the notification, i.e. on 20 April 2011.
