This case concerned the conduct of Gabriel Barbosa Almeida during a doping control on 8 April 2023. The player was suspended for two years by the Brazilian Anti-Doping Tribunal for allegedly tampering with the doping control process. The CAS Panel overturned the decision, finding that while the player’s behaviour was inappropriate and non-cooperative, it did not meet the threshold for a violation under Article 2.5 of the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC).
