SAO PAULO (AP) Brazilian defensive star Roberto Carlos, who was part of the team that won the 2002 World Cup, denies accusations of doping made in a German documentary.
Broadcaster ARD/WDR aired a documentary on Saturday that alleges Carlos was a patient of a doctor who has been accused of helping athletes use banned performance-enhancing substances. The network says Carlos’ name appeared in a dossier that Brazilian anti-doping authorities gave to the Sao Paulo prosecutor’s office.
In a statement, Carlos says he has ”never used any artificial (substance) that would give me an advantage over my fellow players.
