SANCTION OVERTURNED
He tested positive for the banned substance clostebol in an out-of-competition test in May 2019. He was initially given an eight-month suspension, which was extended to 12 months by the FINA Doping Panel in July 2019, forcing him to miss the 2019 World Championships and 2019 Pan American Games. He appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport [CAS], claiming that the presence of clostebol in his system was due to contamination from sharing a towel that had traces of the substance. In February 2020 CAS found that he was not at fault for the doping violation and revoked his suspension. "It is hard to explain in words the sensation to receive this news. It was an explosion of good feelings, happiness, relief, motivation, gratitude, among others." (globoesporte.globo.com, 14 Feb 2021)
