    Spain orders boxing doping samples to be destroyed

    Bull****. A ped doctor caught giving drugs to a cyclist had his lab invaded. Police seized 100 blood bags of famous cyclist, football players and boxers. A fckin women ordered them
    To be destroyed instead of naming and shaming these cheats. Spain's anti doping team is appealing but we need to make thus big news. He had known American clients and from Germany. Mosley was apprantly one of them among other high profile boxers. Google it folks am on my phone

    edit

    Madrid judge Julia Santamaria ordered the destruction of 211 bags of blood and other evidence seized in police raids on Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes in 2006, citing privacy laws. He has been given a suspended one-year jail sentence.

    Fuentes confirmed in court he had clients from other sports, including tennis, football and Boxing, but not that they had been involved in doping.

    Radcliffe added: "It is very frustrating at a time when globally the momentum is moving towards supporting anti-doping in a very positive direction with the actions of USADA [US anti-doping agency] and the recent clean-up in cycling.

    "Here the Spanish courts and the Spanish nation had a chance to really go with that and support that, and show that they were behind the anti-doping fight, and in fact they have basically gone in the opposite direction.

    She said it was "vital" that the bags were preserved for analysis.

    "There are 211 blood bags in question, probably relating to about 35 different people." Radcliffe said.

    "It could be massive if we could have that information and it exposed those cheats but also used the fact that we would be opening this up and exposing them as a huge deterrent."

    I presume you mean the Fuentes thing - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/22361185

    Crazy stuff alright. I think in Spain there's concern over what it might mean for the national (football) team and a lot of their marquee stars. The boxers aren't very significant in the broader story but it would still be really interesting to see who he's been helping there too.

        I've always felt that there was something fishy going on over there with doping ever since tha cyclist got caught but it seems everyone especially the Spanish sply swept it under the rug

          With the lengths the Spanish are going to get this destroyed, you'd have to think it involves some of their major athletes.

          World Cup and European Championship winners, Rafa Nadal and the likes; destroying the evidence to protect their athletes simply should not be allowed.

            lol yeah using steroids for his easier fights? Man that's a great accusation

                  You dont think a former cyclist who lived and trained in Spain for years and years is possibly implicated in this?
