TJD-AD 2018-138 Appeal Decision - Football
December 12, 2018
In December 2017 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the football player after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Furosemide.
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the case was referred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD).
The Rapporteur finds that the presence of a prohibited substance has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation.
The Rapporteur consideres that the Athlete had not applied for a TUE and that his violation was rather negligent then intentional due to no other prohibited substances were found in his sample.
Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 21 August 2018 by majority to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of sample collection, i.e. on 16 September 2017.
