He was once touted as the next Ronaldo on Football Manager but several years after being rated as a real prospect in Brazilian football, Jobson has found himself embroiled in scandal after scandal, and now finds himself banned until 2018.
Jobson tested positive for crack cocaine on 28 December 2009 and at his CAS hearing in June, he told the three-man panel that he became desperate and used crack cocaine in 2010 when a Brazilian sports tribunal initially banned him for two years. The tribunal later cut the ban to six months.
''The player confirmed that he had started drinking alcohol at the age of 15 and using drugs at the age of 17, when he started to play for Brasiliense.'' the CAS ruling said. According to reports, Jobson stopped using cocaine when he was loaned in 2009 to South Korean club Jeju United ''but had consumed vast quantities of alcohol,''.

The career of Jobson began promisingly. He broke into the Brasiliense Futebol Clube first team at the age of 17 and went onto score an impressive 22 goals in 61 games for the Brazilian side.
He then earned himself a move to Botafogo in 2010 after a productive loan spell at the club in 2009, when he scored five in 12 games. Whispers of the next Ronaldo began to circulate and Jobson quickly became a household name in Brazil.
Despite scoring six goals in 18 games for Fogão in his second season, he was shipped to Atletico Mineiro in 2011 and further loan spells at Bahia, Gremio and Sao Caetano in the next three years failed to spark the once promising Jobson.

In 2014, he was banned from playing football for four years after allegedly refusing to undergo a doping test while he played in Saudi Arabia. He was playing for Saudi Premier League side Ittihad FC on loan from Botafogo, where he managed five goals in 13 games but his spell was cut short because of the incident.
He was also arrested for drink driving in 2015 and was arrested in Conceição do Araguaia.
On June 23, 2016, Jobson was arrested in northern Brazil under the accusation that he raped four teenage girls, aged 12 to 14, after luring them to a party with alcohol.

He was held for 69 days on suspicion of rape, according to GloboEsporte. Shortly after his release, Jobson uploaded a video of himself on video singing "I am free" to the Frozen theme song.
