In February 2018 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the bodybuilder for evading Doping Control.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and the case was referred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD).
The Athlete admitted the violation and stated that he had to leave the competition venue otherwise he would miss his ride. He requested to lift the provisional suspension and disputed the Doping Control.
Following assessment of the evidence the Rapporteur finds that the Athlete had evaded Doping Control intentionally and accordinghly had committed an anti-doping rule violation. There are no grounds to lift the provisional suspension, nor mitigating circumstances.
Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 11 December 2018 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 10 December 2017.
