Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol and currently playing for Cruzeiro, has been definitively absolved by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) from accusations of doping test fraud. The case dates back to his time at Flamengo, where he was initially suspended for two years. During the legal process, Gabigol was allowed to continue playing under a provisional suspension. The CAS ruled unanimously to annul the two-year suspension, confirming that there was no evidence of adulteration in the doping test. This decision is final and not subject to appeal. Following the ruling, Gabigol expressed relief but also acknowledged the emotional toll of the ordeal, stating, "Justice was done, but the wound remains." He also thanked those who supported him throughout the process.
