The case against Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, changed essentially. An analysis illustrated that the doping medicines which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents written on the labels. He 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. It was written on the intercepted bottles that they contained the doping preparation TB-500. It represents a peptide hormone that is capable to induce increasing endurance and speed healing. An investigation was started by the Belgian authorities. It was suspected that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping drugs. This sportsperson rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of the career he was with this team.
An analysis of the bottles intercepted by customs illustrated that they contained only amino acids. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer claimed that the accusations 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 claimed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the drug which was written on the label and to the words of the former sportsperson.
Only amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping medication. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping products to other individuals.
The hearing of Wim Vansevenant was scheduled to be later.
