In August 2019 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the basketball player after his sample tested positive for multiple prohibited substances: Anastrozole, Oxandrolone and Stanozolol.
The Athlete was tested out-of-competition in July 2019 and he acknowledged to the Doping Control Officer that he had used Cannabis and cycles of steroids. He declined to mention these substances on the Doping Control Form.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete failed to file a statement in his defence and the case was referred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD).
The Rapporteur finds that multiple prohibited substances had been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he had committed an anti-doping rule violation. In view of the evidence the Rapporteur concludes that the Athlete clearly intentionally had used these prohibited substances.
Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 17 December 2019 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension.
