The case linked with Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, changed surprisingly. An analysis displayed that the doping medicines that were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents enumerated on the labels. The former rider 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. According to the labels of the intercepted bottles, they contained the doping product TB-500. It represents a peptide hormone which has ability to increase endurance and speed healing. An investigation was started by the Belgian authorities. It was thought that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping preparations. 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 seized by customs manifested that just amino acids were presented. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer confirmed that the case had to be dropped. He explained that since the preparation was not connected with doping, the former rider didn’t deserve to be punished.
Johan Lescrauwaet, the prosecutor’s spokesperson claimed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the product which was indicated on the label and to the affirmations of the former rider.
Only amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping preparation. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping preparations to other individuals.
The hearing of the former Belgian professional rider was scheduled to be later.
