Can Bruno Henrique train with Flamengo after STJD ban? | OneFootball

Bruno Henrique received a 12-match suspension for alleged involvement in sports betting

The Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) ruled this Thursday (04) that Bruno Henrique has been suspended for 12 matches due to alleged involvement in a sports betting case. In the past, there have been cases where the punished athlete was even banned from entering the club's premises, but this will not be the case for the Flamengo striker.

Bruno Henrique will be able to train as usual at CT Ninho do Urubu and can even play in Copa Libertadores da América matches. This is because the penalty applies only to national competitions. So, initially, the player will miss 12 Brasileirão matches. However, the Most Beloved will appeal.

WHAT OTHER PUNISHMENT DID BRUNO HENRIQUE RECEIVE?

In addition to the 12-match ban from national competitions, Bruno Henrique will have to pay a fine of R$ 60,000. Flamengo will try to reduce or even overturn the striker's penalty. Furthermore, the Most Beloved will request a suspensive effect so that the number 27 can continue playing in the upcoming matches for Filipe Luís' team.

HOW WAS BRUNO HENRIQUE'S TRIAL?

Starting around 9 a.m. (Brasília time) this Thursday (04), the decision was made at 5:14 p.m. (Brasília time). Bruno Henrique was acquitted under Article 243 of the Sports Justice Code, which refers to deliberately manipulating or harming a team. However, under Article 243-A, the striker ‘lost’ by four votes to one from the auditors. This article addresses the issue of “acting contrary to sports ethics.”

WHAT WAS THE CASE INVOLVING BRUNO HENRIQUE?

In the final stretch of the Brasileirão 2023, Bruno Henrique received a yellow card against Santos. Three betting companies identified large amounts being wagered by clients from Minas Gerais, the player’s home state, betting on the Flamengo player receiving a card. Thus, after investigations, conversations between the number 27 and his brother discussing the possibility of the warning were uncovered. It is important to note that, at the time, BH was one card away from suspension, and the card was coordinated with the coaching staff at the time.
