Doping and Operation Puerto

What the feck are Madrid doing paying a trained gynecologist and notorious doping doctor travel expenses in 2007, 2008 and 2009?

The original quote mentioned 2007, 2008 or 2009. For some reason, some Dutch media have changed that to 2007, 2008 and 2009.

And it's supposedly compensation for his testimony in the case of Real vs Le Monde. The French newspaper had published an article in 2005 or something claiming that Fuentes had doped some Spanish top football clubs, including Real Madrid. Real Madrid sued Le Monde and Fuentes testified in that case.
 
BBC's Newsnight is reporting on Twitter an interview with one of the witnesses the Puerto case, in the interview the witness claimed that footballers as well as athletes from other sports (other than cycling) were purchasing doping products. The witness calls Spain "a paradise for sports dopers" and accuses the Spanish government of an almighty cover up.

I would guess Newsnight will broadcast the interview very soon.
 
1 year prison sentence which he won't serve, 4 year ban from sports medicine but can still practice as a GP, and all evidence to be destroyed

Where the feck do Spain get their judges

Complete and utter joke

That'll quell those cover up rumours!
 
An EU authority needs to step the feck in and get that evidence.


It's like a School finding a Teacher has been helping his amazing students cheat their way to excellence, giving the teacher a limp punishment and destroying the evidence before all the rival schools find out which pupils have been cheating and thus retaining their reputation of an "excellent school ".

Complete bullshit.

They were never going to go in hard on him. They need to keep him quiet.
 
It stinks of a cover up destroying the evidence, I will be forever suspicious of this Spain/Barcelona team unless that evidence is made available to WADA.
