Brazil Court Ties Soccer Player's Suspension to Recovery Time for His Injured Rival Gabriel Pec
The court said a standard penalty was not enough after Gabriel Pec suffered a left tibia fracture in a league game.
- On Tuesday, Brazil's Superior Court of Sports Justice suspended Inter Porto Alegre defender Victor Gabriel until Cruzeiro forward Gabriel Pec returns to training following recovery from a broken leg.
- The court deemed a standard penalty insufficient given the severity of the incident; Pec suffered a left tibia fracture in a challenge from Gabriel on July 22.
- Under Article 254 of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice, Gabriel was charged with violent play and received an extended penalty capped at 180 days, though it may end sooner if Pec receives medical clearance.
- While Rodrigo Steinmann Bayer favored a standard six-match suspension, court president Jorge Octavio Lavocat Galv, Eduardo Xible Salles Ramos, and Aline Gon voted to enforce the lengthier penalty.
- Pec, who transferred to Cruzeiro from the Galaxy for at least $12 million, remains sidelined with the fracture. The ruling ensures Gabriel's suspension aligns with the forward's rehabilitation timeline.
