The case against Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, changed surprisingly. An analysis manifested that the doping preparations which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents written on the labels. He was cheated by the company where he ordered the preparations.
Last year some packages sent to this former professional 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 is a peptide hormone which is capable to induce increasing muscle power and promote healing. The Belgian authorities started an investigation. It was thought that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping medications. 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 only amino acids were contained. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer claimed that the charges had to be dropped. He pointed out that since the drug was not connected with doping, the former athlete didn’t deserve to be punished.
The prosecutor’s spokesperson Johan Lescrauwaet affirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the product that was indicated on the label and to the affirmations of the former athlete.
Only amino acids were found in the bottles. No any doping medication. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping medications to other individuals.
The hearing of former professional athlete was scheduled to be later.
