The alleged incident took place last year.
FLAMENGO’S BRAZIL FORWARD Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, has been suspended for two years for attempted fraud during a doping test, a Brazilian sports court said on Monday.
During the test last year, according to local media, Gabigol failed to comply with the schedule, disrespected the officers, and failed to comply with instructions. When he finally arrived to be tested, he reportedly became upset because an officer escorted him to the bathroom.A key figure in Flamengo’s 2019 domestic top-flight league Brasileirao and South America’s Copa Libertadores titles, Gabigol denies having tried to cheat in the test.
“In view of this information, there is nothing that could compromise or violate the protocol,” the lawyer added.
