This limitation means the scope of the trial can only focus on charges relating to actions that could “endanger public health.” But that doesn’t mean the trial won’t lead to new revelations about athletes who cheated to get an unfair advantage.
“If one of the defendants says that, for example, he injected a certain athlete, then Spain’s anti-doping agency or a sports federation could open an investigation to see if they could be subject to a ban,” Eduardo Esteban, spokesman for the state prosecutor’s office, told The Associated Press.
Miguel Angel Adan, spokesman for Spain’s anti-doping agency, confirmed the body was studying the possibility.
According to documents reportedly seen by sports newspaper AS,With the multitude of fake replicawatches on the internet, defense lawyers will argue that Fuentes and his co-defendants did not endanger cyclists’ health because they relied on the best technology available.
The proceedings will be followed closely by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which pushed for the case to go to court and will be a party to the trial along with the International Cycling Union, the Italian Olympic Committee, the International Association of Professional Cycling Teams, and former cyclist Jesus Manzano.
WADA is disappointed the trial is limited to cycling, as athletes from other sports were also implicated.
“We have expressed our frustration but at least we are finally getting a hearing,” WADA director general David Howman told the AP in a telephone interview. “The case was originally canned, but we pushed and insisted to get it reopened. Our expectations are limited but our hopes are high.”
“There were athletes from a number of sports involved,” Howman said. “The doctor is on trial. We need to hear what he was practicing and who his patients were.Louis Vuitton shoes are on sale in our store with high quality louisvuittonshoes.”
