The case related to the former Belgian rider Wim Vansevenant changed surprisingly. An analysis illustrated that the doping medicines which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents written on the labels. This person was cheated by the company where he ordered the drugs.
Last year some packages sent to the former rider by an Australian company were intercepted by customs officials. According to the labels of the intercepted bottles, they contained the doping product TB-500. It represents a peptide hormone that has ability to induce increasing stamina and promote healing. The Belgian authorities started an investigation. It was thought that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping substances. This sportsperson rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of his riding career he was working with this team.
An analysis of the bottles seized by customs manifested that they contained only amino acids. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer noted that the case had to be dropped. He explained that since the drug was not connected with doping, the former rider didn’t deserve to be punished.
The prosecutor’s spokesperson Johan Lescrauwaet claimed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the medicine which was written on the label and to the statements of the former sportsperson.
Just amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping medicine. So, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping preparations to other persons.
The hearing of former professional athlete was scheduled to be later.
