In June 2023 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the weightlifter after he tested positive for the prohibited substances Mestanolone and Stanozolol.
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete failed to respond and the case was referred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD).
Because the Athlete again failed to respond within the set deadline the Panel finds that the Athlete is deemed to have admitted the asserted violation, waived his right to a hearing and accepted all proposed consequences.
Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 29 September to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 27 June 2023.
