Flamengo’s international forward Gabriel Barbosa was suspended for two years on Monday for attempted fraud during a doping test, a Brazilian sports court said.

Gabigol subsequently hit back on social media, saying “I never tried to obstruct or defraud any test.”Flamengo said in a statement it would support its player and assist with his appeal “because there was no type of fraud”.On the testing day, Gabigol’s teammates underwent testing in the morning while he ignored a request to be present and attended after lunchtime, according to the accusation.

“In view of this information, there is nothing that could compromise or violate the protocol,” the lawyer added.
