In March 2018 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the bodybuilder after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Anastrozole, Clenbuterol, Hydrochlorothiazide, Methasterone and Oxandrolone.
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 denied the intentional use of the substance. He asserted that he only had used supplements for his diet, had no knowledge of doping, nor received anti-doping education.
The Rapporteur finds that the presence of the prohibited substances had been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an ant-doping rule violation.
The Rapporteur deems that the Athlete failed to demonstrate the violation was not intentional. He had used multiple substances for the enhancement of sport performance whereas he failed to mention these substances on the Doping Control Form. Further the Rapporteur considers that there had been delays in the proceedings not attributed to the Athlete.
Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 24 May 2019 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 9 December 2017.
