GENEVA. The Court of Arbitration for Sport suspended Brazilian striker Dodo for two years for testing positive for amphetamines.
The Lausanne-based CAS said in a statement that it upheld the appeals by football's world governing body FIFA and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) after Dodo had been exonerated by a Brazilian probe.
Dodo, 34, will now be suspended for a two-year period which runs until November 7, 2009 to take into account the time he has already been suspended, CAS said.
He tested positive for fenproprex after a drugs test on June 14 2007 after a match between his then-side Botafogo and fellow Rio team Vasco da Gama, but claimed that the caffeine capsules he used had been contaminated.
Brazil's highest sports court had previously cleared him of doping.
