He is just an idiot. If he really would want to help clean up cycling, he could just talk to all European anti-doping agencies. Instead he makes his lawyers to publish such crap. |

Evading taxes I guess, must have learnt from Purito. Anyway, shouldn't he be pretty easily found via the whereabouts system?

Talking about Vicioso (what a great name for a doper), he's suspended by Katusha.

Lampre have very helpfully cleared up what's going on
Today, a meeting between Team LAMPRE-MERIDA management and the manager of Michele Scarponi, in the presence of the respective attorneys, has taken place.
The parts have agreed upon a next updates about the guess of the development of the work relationship.
Team LAMPRE-MERIDA won’t add any further notes to the press release.

I'm not really sure whether this is new news or not as Fuentes has always been linked to doping and Hamilton already admitted it but parts of it are new to my knowledge so I'm going to post it here anyway.
https://uk.eurospo...54764.html
To summerise for those who can't open the link it seems like operation puerto and dr fuentes weren't just doping cyclists but people from other sports aswell, including Boxing, Football and Tennis.
also I find it interesting that his code number was 4142 which suggests that it should be easy to convict alot of people on doping charges if fuentes loses the case and they have a copy of who each code number belongs to.

That he was working with non-cyclists as well is known since 2006. From his 200+ blood bags only ~60 or so were later chased and these were cyclists only. 
On 5 July 2006, Fuentes was indignant that only cyclists had been named and said he also worked with tennis and football players.[2] On 27 July 2006, IAAF was assured by Spanish prosecutors that no track and field athletes were involved.[53] On 23 September 2006, former cyclist Jesús Manzano told reporters from France 3 that he had seen "well-known footballers" from La Liga visit the offices of Dr Fuentes.[54]
In May 2007 Sepp Blatter, president of FIFA, at a World Anti-Doping Agency meeting in Montreal, was reportedly interested in the contents "of the Puerto file".[55] Le Monde had reported in December 2006 that they had possession of documents of Fuentes detailing "seasonal preparation plans" for Spanish football clubs FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. These plans did not specifically name any players.[56] This news seem to be only rumors, since the French journal lost its trials in 2009 and 2011 against the FC Barcelona because he could not produce any proof of its allegations. In the ultimate judgement, on 14 November 2011, it was condemned to pay 15,000 euros of indemnity for "using false and unverified facts".[57]
No other athletes had been named.

Fuentes working with non-cyclists are very, very old news. But none of them will fall, maybe some athletes, possibly Marta DomÃnguez who was already tainted in Galgo, but not many more, and no chance for footballers or tennis players to fall.
No. Chance.

It doesn't help that 51 blood bags have gone "missing"

The Judge's refuse to EF revealing names doesn't help much too |
