The case against Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, changed dramatically. An analysis demonstrated that the doping preparations that were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents enumerated on the labels. He was cheated by the company where he ordered the medicines.
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 medicine TB-500. It is a peptide hormone which has ability to increase muscle power 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 athlete rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of his career he was with this team.
An analysis of the bottles intercepted by customs showed that they contained only amino acids. Wim Vansevenant’s attorney confirmed that the charges had to be dropped. He explained that since the preparation was not related to 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 drug which was indicated on the label and to the affirmations of the former sportsperson.
Just amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping preparation. So, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping medicines to other persons.
The hearing of the former Belgian professional rider was scheduled to be later.
