Flamengo v Estudiantes: Libertadores tie rocked by doping claim | OneFootball

La Plata Press Reported Event This Week

A possible scandal in the match between Flamengo and Estudiantes (ARG) in La Plata has become a topic in Argentina. The NGO ‘Sports Without Drugs’, through Aldo Sérgio Parodi, filed a complaint of “collective doping” in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Libertadores.

Aldo filed the complaint with a federal prosecutor in 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 the 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 Minister of Tourism, Environment, and Sports of the country, Daniel Scioli, are held responsible for enforcing Law No. 26.912. The next steps of the situation have not yet been defined.

WHAT DOES ALDO'S COMPLAINT SAY?

WHAT HAPPENED 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 into the semi-final.

SHOULD FLAMENGO BE CAUTIOUS FOR THE SEMI-FINAL?

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