The Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the armwrestler after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances 19-norandrosterone and 19-noretiocholanolone (Nandrolone).
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the case was referred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal. The Athlete denied that the violation was intentional and claimed that the presence of the substances in his system was due to his consumption of meat.
The Rapporteur finds that the presence of prohibited substances has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation.
Therefore the TJD-AD Paneld decides on 13 March 2018 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 10 June 2017.
