The winner of the Ironman of Brazil, the Brazilian Ariane Monticeli tested positive for EPO the day before the test.

According to the newspaper mundotri.br, the Brazilian triathlete has acknowledged using EPO for this test, however she points out that she has only done it once. After having won the 2015 Latin American Ironman Championship in Brazil, the following year due to various circumstances he was unable to perform at the level he expected and this was the cause of his doping.

According to comments on the Brazilian website, Arieane exposes to explain what happened, having suffered during 2016 problems on the bike in Florianopolis, an accident at the Zurich Ironman, the death of his mother, and a fall before the Hawaii Ironman.

Once at 2017, the triathlete decided to return to the top level and that is why she decided to use EPO in her first medium distance competition, with the only thought of winning. According to the triathlete, he only had to search the internet and found out how to buy EPO, how to use it and how long it stays in the body.

After this he did not win the test, but remained in third position, so he decided not to take it again.

This is a very clear proof of how expensive it can be to cheat using methods such as the EPO, an athlete with a future and due to bad results thrown overboard his professional career as an athlete.
