Shakhtar midfielder Fred has reportedly failed a doping test carried out whilst on international duty with Brazil at the Copa América. The information revealed by Foxsports has not been confirmed by the CBF, but the player has supposedly tested positive for a hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic that is considered to be a doping product.

The 23-year-old started for Brazil in the opening two games of their Copa campaign, and could be suspended if the failure is confirmed by the CBF.

The ex-Internacional man had been included in the squad for the tournament in Chile at the expense of injured Luiz Gustavo.
