French ask Spanish to release Operacion Puerto names
Canada.com | Minister asks Spain to release names of athletes implicated in doping probe
France's Minister for Sports has asked his Spanish counterpart to release the names of riders suspected of involvement in a Madrid doping ring before July's Tour de France.
Jean-Francois Lamour asked Jaime Lissavetzky to step in to accelerate the process, so the Tour could “go ahead in total transparency. That is to say with people who cannot be suspected of having benefited from these transfusions.”
The Spanish press has reported that investigators have a list of as many as 200 riders collected from the lab run by Eufemiano Fuentes, as well as about that many bags of refrigerated blood.
