March 10, 2022
On 3 September 2020 the TJD-AD Panel decided to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on a Doctor for complicity regarding the use of the substance Triamcinolone acetonide by a football player. The TJD-AD concluded that this Doctor deliberately had attempted to mislead the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) with falsified medical evidence.
Additionally the TJD-AD decided on 4 July 2019 to impose a sanction of 3 years on two other doctors for their involvement in producing falsified medical information. Following their conviction one of these doctors contacted TJD-AD and requested to receive all relevant documents because he had been unaware that in absentia a sanction was imposed.
TJD-AD established that in this case ABCD and TJD-AD had submitted their communications to the wrong e-mail address. As a result the TJD-AD deemed that the doctor had not received the opportunity to present his defence.
Therefore the TJD-AD decides on 23 September 2021 to annul the TJD-AD Decision of 4 July 2019 and to refer the case back to the TJD-AD for a new trial.
