The case related to the former Belgian rider Wim Vansevenant altered significantly. An analysis displayed that the doping drugs which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents written on the labels. He was cheated by the company where he ordered the products.
Last year some packages sent to the former 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 is able to increase muscle strength and speed healing. The Belgian authorities started an investigation. It was suspected 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 the career he was with this team.
An analysis of the bottles intercepted by customs displayed that just amino acids were presented. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer confirmed that the accusations had to be dropped. He explained that since the medicine was not linked with doping, the former athlete didn’t deserve to be punished.
The prosecutor’s spokesperson Johan Lescrauwaet confirmed 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 sportsman.
Only amino acids were found in the bottles. No any doping medication. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping medicines to other individuals.
The hearing of Wim Vansevenant was scheduled to be later.
