In May 2018 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the basketball player after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substtance Betamethasone. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered.
The Athlete filed a statement in his defence, made an application for a retroactive TUE and requested to lift the provisional suspension. In a preliminairy hearing the Athlete explained with evidence that the substance was not used intentionally, rather as medication for his injury.
In view of the evidence the TJD-AD Panel deems that under the Rules there are sufficient grounds to grant the Athlete's request. Accordingly on 14 August 2018 the TJD-AD Panel decides to lift the provisional suspension.
