The 35-year-old player who is currently playing for Fluminense was tested after the club's match with Boavista last month and his test sample was found to contain traces of furosemide, a diuretic which is banned as it can be used to mask other substances.
The Club issued a short statement on their website to acknowledge the results, but offering no comment until the players 'B' sample is revealed on Friday.
According to reports in Brazil, Deco plans to fight any suspension, claiming the result is most likely a result of contamination to a vitamin supplement he has used for several years.
