In 2004, Boevski was suspended for eight years for failing a second drug test.
He was arrested in October 2011 while trying to board a plane in São Paulo, Brazil, to Europe with 9 kilos of cocaine.
Boevski was arrested in October 2011, for possession of 9 kg of cocaine at the Guarulhos Airport in São Paulo, Brazil, on his way back from a tennis tournament for his daughter, Sara.
He was, allegedly recruited as a mule to smuggle illegal drugs from Brazil to Western Europe.
The drug was found hidden in special secret compartments inside his suitcase.
In October 2012, the appellate court of Brazil decided against reducing his sentence.
In May 2012, Boevski was sentenced to 9 years and 4 months in prison by the Federal Court in Brazil.
Until the end of his trial, Boevski maintained his position that he is absolutely innocent and is not a mule or a drug trafficker.
He supposed that he might have picked up the wrong suitcases intended for someone else.
On 23 October 2013, he returned to Bulgaria.
Asked how, he did not comment.
The Bulgarian government stated that the release was a unilateral act by Brazil and they do not know of any details.
A little over a year later, in October 2013, Boevski surprisingly landed at Sofia's airport as a free man.
The Bulgarian authorities had not been informed of his release and had no comment.
Subsequently, it was made clear that Boevski was expulsed from prison following a usual Brazilian procedure for expulsion of foreign prisoners.
The Bulgarian authorities were criticized for the lack of coordination and communication with their Brazilian counterparts - mainly for not indicting Boevski in Bulgaria and for not knowing of his Brazilian expulsion.
On December 21, 2013, Trud published a biography on Boevski's life entitled The White Prisoner: Galabin Boevski's Secret Story (Bulgarian: Белият затворник. Тайната история на Гълъбин Боевски).

The book spans Boevski's entire career as well as his cocaine conviction and release.
The English version was published on 30 May 2014 as print and e-book.
