The case connected with Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, changed significantly. An analysis manifested that the doping medications that were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents written on the labels. This person was cheated by the company where he ordered the products.
Last year some packages sent to the former athlete by an Australian company were intercepted by customs officials. It was written on the intercepted bottles that they contained the doping drug TB-500. It is a peptide hormone that is able to induce enhancing muscle strength and speed healing. The Belgian authorities started an investigation. It was believed that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping preparations. This person rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of his riding career he was with this team.
An analysis of the bottles seized by customs illustrated that just amino acids were presented. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer noted that the charges had to be dropped. He pointed out that since the medicine was not connected with doping, the former sportsperson didn’t deserve to be punished.
The prosecutor’s spokesperson Johan Lescrauwaet claimed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the drug which was written on the label and to the statements of the former athlete.
Just amino acids were found in the bottles. No any doping product. So, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping products to other persons.
The hearing of the former Belgian rider was scheduled to be later.
