The case connected with Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, altered dramatically. An analysis demonstrated that the doping medications which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents enumerated on the labels. He was cheated by the company where he ordered the medicines.
Last year some packages sent to Wim Vansevenant by an Australian company were intercepted by customs officials. It was written on the intercepted bottles that they contained the doping drug TB-500. It is a peptide hormone that has ability to increase muscle power and promote healing. An investigation was started by the Belgian authorities. It was suspected that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping medicines. This person 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 illustrated that they contained only amino acids. Wim Vansevenant’s attorney claimed that the charges had to be dropped. He pointed out that since the medication was not connected with doping, the former sportsperson didn’t deserve to be punished.
Johan Lescrauwaet, the prosecutor’s spokesperson confirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the medicine that was indicated on the label and to the statements of the former rider.
Only amino acids were found in the bottles. No any doping drug. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping drugs to other individuals.
The hearing of former professional athlete was scheduled to be later.
