Investigations against doping doctor Fuentes set
Madrid - relief for doping doctor Eufemio Fuentes. The investigations against him were dismissed. The "Operacion Puerto" is without legal consequences.
As Antonio Serrano told investigators, had shown the existing evidence is insufficient grounds for further judicial activities or an indictment against the physician for endangering public health.
The Spanish police had seized from the so-called "Operacion Puerto" in the wake of doping in 2006, more than 200 blood bags at Fuentes and another doctor, Merino Batres.
At least 50 cyclists, including the now retired Jan Ullrich, the Ansbacher Jörg Jaksche and former Giro winner Ivan Basso (Italy) were mentioned in the documents. While Basso and Jaksche had confessed, Ullrich denies all allegations further. And that, although found blood bags could be clearly attributed to him.
