Fuentes guilty of endangering health but given suspended sentence The spanish
doctor at the heart of one of cycling tms biggest doping scandals has been found
guilty of endangering public health and given a oneyear suspended jail sentence
in the operation puerto case. The judge also ruled that the blood bags be
destroyed, ruling out any possible investigations by the world antidoping agency
and spain tms national antidoping body. The bags contained red blood cells and
plasma that had been separated by fuentes from his patients through the use of
sophisticated centrifuges. According to the judge, fuentes tm practices were
aimed purely at improving athletes tm performances, but they also posed a threat
to their health. The court also sentenced former cycling team official ignacio
labarta to four months in jail.It acquitted the other three people on
trial:Yolanda fuentes, manuel saiz and vicente belda. Defendants who receive
sentences of less than two years in spain generally do not go to jail unless
they have previous convictions.Fuentes has 10 days to appeal. Wada and ana
munoz, head of spain tms new antidoping agency, had requested access to the
evidence contained in the blood bags for possible testing using the latest
scientific techniques. Although the bags will not be destroyed until appeals are
heard, their eventual destruction puts an end to any further cases that could
have been instigated by wada or munoz. Operation puerto implicated more than 50
cyclists but only a few have been sanctioned for cheating.The case raised
suspicions that the bags could have contained evidence linking other top
athletes who used fuentes tm services. Fuentes said during the trial that he had
clients from other sports, including soccer, tennis, boxing and track and field,
but they were not identified. No cyclists were on trial because doping was not
an offence in 2006 when police raided fuentes tm clinics and laboratories.Spain
has since passed antidoping legislation, with an even stricter antidoping bill
to be voted on by parliament this summer.Once per day, no spam. More in this
