Does that include the alleged £30 million fraud, from the Postal Service? I read that as they were his sponsor that he effectively stole tax payers money and would likely get nailed to the floor.

It would explain why he is still refusing to admit doping in 2009 and 2010. I understand the Tour victories are all covered by the statute of limitations.Originally posted by rcasemore View Post.
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

From the last edition of Private Eye...
"How many days a week did you dope Lance?"

Indeed, no way did he do this interview without a very clear strategy of what it might end up costing him.Comment

Spanish doctor Fuentes convicted over cyclist doping
A Spanish doctor accused of running one of the world's largest sports doping rings has been sentenced to a year in prison for endangering public health.
Judges convicted Eufemiano Fuentes over his role in supplying blood transfusions to cyclists.
He was charged under public health laws because doping was not illegal in Spain at the time.
A former cycle team official was sentenced to four months in jail, while three other defendants were cleared.
Police found some 200 bags of frozen blood and plasma when they raided Fuentes' offices in 2006.
The Operation Puerto doping trial focused on cycling. Dozens of cyclists were implicated, though few have been sanctioned.
As well as handing Fuentes the one year suspended sentence, the court in Madrid struck him off as a medical doctor for four years.
It sentenced Ignacio Labarta, a former official in the Kelme cycling team, to four months in prison.
Two other former cycling team officials, Manolo Saiz and Vicente Belda, were cleared, as was Fuentes' sister and fellow doctor Yolanda.
Spanish anti-doping officials and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) believe that athletes from other sports were involved in the doping ring, and had asked for access to the evidence collected from Fuentes' offices.
During the trial, Fuentes said he had worked with athletes, footballers and boxers, as well as cyclists, though he did not say whether he had helped them dope.
The bags of blood found in Fuentes' offices were labelled with codenames, which are believed to relate to well-known cyclists and possibly other athletes.
Fuentes maintained that the aim of the blood transfusions was to protect athletes' health and improve their performance during training.
Spain has passed anti-doping legislation since 2006, and parliament is expected to vote on an anti-doping bill later this year that would bring Spanish law into line with Wada's guidelinesComment

I expected a bigger sentence if he was found guilty. Perhaps there is a quid pro quo...
I wonder if he'll dish the dirt on all the footballers and athletes. Also any cycling team officials, not just individual riders (although them too). I doubt it but let's hope so.
And he probably doped a few racehorses too.

F*ck, I've just read the whole report properly. The judge has ordered the blood bags to be destroyed, so also destroying any chance of identifying all the other drug cheats, and the jail sentence will be suspended.
It stinks. Spain's anti-doping record is pathetic..

Wow, that is so corrupt it's untrue.
You wonder if a certain Alberto was involved

Yep. I doubt he wasn't.
But more than that, you wonder which footballers and distance runners were involved..
