I know that mistakes have been made by the commission which they even admitted. I hope that there is a way to appeal this as my career is now in serious danger and my name has been tainted. I believe that the whole testing procedure is unreliable and this could be a serious matter for future events that will be held in Brazil. I restate my innocence in this matter and I will fight to make this right.
