Flamengo v Estudiantes: collective doping claim in Libertadores | OneFootball

La Plata Press Reported an Event This Week

A possible scandal in the game between Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG), in La Plata, became a topic of discussion in Argentina. The NGO ‘Sports Without Drugs’, through Aldo Sérgio Parodi, filed a complaint of “collective doping” in the match valid for the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Libertadores.

Aldo filed the complaint with a federal prosecutor of La Plata, Ana María Russo, for a possible violation of Law No. 26,912, which regulates anti-doping control in Argentine sports. According to the report, no tests were conducted, and according to Aldo, this constitutes “collective doping” and a violation of current legislation.

The complainant holds the president of Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguez, as one of those responsible. Additionally, the president of the Argentine Federation, Claudio ‘Chiqui’ Tapia, and the country's Minister of Tourism, Environment, and Sports, Daniel Scioli, are held responsible for enforcing Law No. 26,912. The next steps of the situation have yet to be defined.

WHAT DOES ALDO'S COMPLAINT SAY?

HOW WAS IT ON THE FIELD?

Indeed, Estudiantes ‘ran a lot’ and managed to defeat Flamengo 1-0 in La Plata. However, since the Rubro-Negro had won 2-1 at Maracanã, the match went to penalties. In the shootout, Agustín Rossi was the hero, saving two penalties and putting the Most Beloved in the semifinals.

SHOULD FLAMENGO BE WARY FOR THE SEMIFINAL?

Subsequently, Flamengo will return to Argentina on the 29th to face Racing (ARG) in the second leg of the Copa Libertadores de América semifinal. Before that, however, Mengão will try to gain an advantage at Maracanã on October 22, in the first leg of the clash.
