The case related to the former Belgian rider Wim Vansevenant altered surprisingly. An analysis demonstrated that the doping medicines that were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents listed on the labels. He was cheated by the company where he ordered the products.
Last year certain 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 product TB-500. It represents a peptide hormone that has ability to increase muscle strength and promote healing. The Belgian authorities started an investigation. It was believed that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping products. This sportsperson rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of his riding career he was working with this team.
An analysis of the bottles seized by customs manifested that only amino acids were contained. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer confirmed that the charges had to be dropped. He explained that since the medicine was not related to doping, the former athlete didn’t deserve to be punished.
The prosecutor’s spokesperson Johan Lescrauwaet confirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the product which was indicated on the label and to the affirmations of the former athlete.
Just amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping product. So, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping preparations to other individuals.
The hearing of the former Belgian rider was scheduled to be later.
