Gabriel Barbosa was convicted of attempting to falsify a drug test. The Brazilian striker will appeal the decision.
The 27-year-old has won almost every possible title with Flamengo, including the Copa Libertadores. The striker intends to appeal the punishment, but in any case starting next week, from April 1, he will not be able to play football until he succeeds in overturning the decision, it has been reported. According to the law in Brazil, any attempt to disrupt the inspection procedure means immediate removal which can reach up to four years in prison.
