On 3 August 2023 the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD Panel) decided to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Parathlete after his sample tested positive for Cocaine in a high concentration above the WADA threshold.
Hereafter the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) and the prosecution appealed this decision with the TJD-AD Appeal Panel. They contended that in first instance the hearing occurred without the representation of counsel and requested the Appeal Panel to annul the Appealed Decision.
The TJD-AD Appeal Panel agrees and accordingly it decides on 4 October 2023 to annul the Appealed Decision and to refer the case back to the first instance Tribunal.
