TJD-AD 2021-001 Disciplinary Decision - Football
January 29, 2021
The Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the football player after his A and B samples, collected in September 2019, tested positive for the prohibited substances Chlorothiazide, Furosemide and Hydrochlorothiazide.
The Athlete admitted the violation and assumed that the supplement Natural Detox he had used was contaminated. Analysis of this supplement confirmed the presence of Hydrochlorothiazide as contaminant.
Thereupon in March 2020 the Athlete and ABCD reached an agreement for an accepted of sanction of 10 months. Hereafter this agreement of acceptance of consequences was referred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD) for approval into a decision of the TJD-AD.
The TJD-AD Rapporteur determines that the Athlete’s use of the contaminated supplement explained the presence of the substance Hydrochlorothiazide in his A and B samples.
However the Rapporteur holds that the source of the substance Furosemide remained unexplained while the Athlete only had admitted the use of the supplement Natural Detox. In view of these findings the Rapporteur deems to reject the ratification of the agreement.
Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 13 May 2020 to reject the ratification of the agreement of acceptance of consequences proposed by the ABCD and that the TJD-AD shall settle te case.
