The case related to the former Belgian rider Wim Vansevenant changed dramatically. An analysis manifested that the doping medications which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents enumerated on the labels. The former Belgian rider was cheated by the company where he ordered the drugs.
Last year certain 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 preparation TB-500. It represents a peptide hormone that is able to increase endurance and promote healing. The Belgian authorities started an investigation. It was thought that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping substances. This person rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of the career he was working with this team.
An analysis of the bottles seized by customs showed that just amino acids were presented. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer noted that the charges had to be dropped. He pointed out that since the medication was not related to doping, the former athlete didn’t deserve to be punished.
Johan Lescrauwaet, the prosecutor’s spokesperson affirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the medicine 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 preparation. So, 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.
