‘’No negative’’ result of Paulo Garcés doping test.

After the sixth league day in the ‘’Campeonato Nacional’’ of Chile, when the team Deportes Antofagasta had to play against O’Higgins, one of the players gave ‘’no negative’’ results in a doping test. The protagonist of this story is Paulo Garcés, goalkeeper of the ‘’pumas’’, as usually is known his team, Deportes Antofagasta.

According to the goalkeeper, the substance is a pill that he consumed with the only aim to lose fat. That substance was autorized by the doctors of the team and is very known in in the world, but, nevertheless, they did not know that it is in the prohibited substances list. If you do not know anything about this team, you can see a video of a match:

Paulo Garcés talked with a local TV program called ‘’24 Horas Deportes’’, he said that he took a nutritional suplemment and informed of it to the medical team. He added that he was calmed, searching for the best defense to talk about that. Also, his wife, Joyce Castiblanco, wanted to give her opinion in the social media, saying that the club autorized him and the faimily is confident to the positive result of the case.

Nowadays, the goalkeeper can not play for his team becauses is suspended, and is waiting for the results.

What do you think about this type of doping? Do you think that Garcés should be suspended for a time or the medical team have the responsability?

Thanks for reading us,

Sergio Torreblanca.
