The Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the cyclist after her sample - provided in July 2019 - tested positive for the prohibited substances Chlorothiazide, Hydrochlorothiazide and Stanozolol.

Further ABCD reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete's doctor for the prescription and administration of the prohibited substances.

After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and the case was referred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD).

The Athlete asserted that she only recently had started cycling and had not received anti-doping education. The substances were prescribed by her doctor whereas she used diuretics for many years because of her medical condition.

The doctor acknowledged the prescription and administration of the prohibited substances. He testified that only following the positive test the patient told the doctor that she is an Athlete submitted to doping control.

The Rapporteur finds that the presence of the prohibited substances has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that she committed an anti-doping rule violation.

The Rapporteurs questions the Athlete's explanation and deems that the Athlete failed to apply for a TUE, nor mentioned her medication on the Doping Control Form.

Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 11 February 2020 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension. Also the TJD-AD Panel decides for the acquital of the Athlete's doctor.
