The case connected with the former Belgian rider Wim Vansevenant changed surprisingly. An analysis demonstrated that the doping medications which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents written on the labels. This former sportsperson was cheated by the company where he ordered the preparations.
Last year several packages sent to Wim Vansevenant by an Australian company were intercepted by customs officials. According to the labels of the intercepted bottles, they contained the doping drug TB-500. It is a peptide hormone which can induce enhancing muscle strength and speed healing. The Belgian authorities started an investigation. It was thought that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping drugs. This athlete 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 displayed that they contained only amino acids. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer noted that the case had to be dropped. He explained that since the medication was not related to doping, the former sportsperson didn’t deserve to be punished.
Johan Lescrauwaet, the prosecutor’s spokesperson confirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the preparation which was written on the label and to the words of the former sportsman.
Just amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping drug. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping medications to other individuals.
The hearing of the former Belgian professional rider was scheduled to be later.
