The case against Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, changed dramatically. An analysis displayed that the doping medicines that were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents enumerated on the labels. The former rider was cheated by the company where he ordered the drugs.
Last year some packages sent to the former Belgian rider by an Australian company were intercepted by customs officials. According to the labels of the intercepted bottles, they contained the doping substance TB-500. It is a peptide hormone that can 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 substances. This sportsperson 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 showed that only amino acids were contained. Wim Vansevenant’s attorney claimed that the accusations had to be dropped. He explained that since the product was not connected with doping, the former sportsperson didn’t deserve to be punished.
The prosecutor’s spokesperson Johan Lescrauwaet confirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the medicine that was indicated on the label and to the words of the former athlete.
Only amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping medicine. So, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping preparations to other persons.
The hearing of the former Belgian professional rider was scheduled to be later.
