The case linked with the former Belgian rider Wim Vansevenant changed surprisingly. An analysis displayed that the doping preparations which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents written on the labels. The former rider was cheated by the company where he ordered the preparations.
Last year certain packages sent to this former professional rider by an Australian company were intercepted by customs officials. According to the labels of the intercepted bottles, they contained the doping medicine TB-500. It represents a peptide hormone that has ability to induce increasing muscle power and promote healing. The Belgian authorities started an investigation. It was thought that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping medications. This sportsperson rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of his career he was with this team.
An analysis of the bottles seized by customs manifested that they contained only amino acids. Wim Vansevenant’s attorney noted that the charges had to be dropped. He pointed out 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 medication that was written on the label and to the affirmations of the former athlete.
Only amino acids were found in the bottles. No any doping medicine. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping medicines to other individuals.
The hearing of the former Belgian rider was scheduled to be later.
