Although bottles sent to Wim Vansevenant were marketed as doping drugs, they represented just amino acids

The case against the former Belgian rider Wim Vansevenant changed essentially. An analysis illustrated that the doping preparations that were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents listed on the labels. The former rider was cheated by the company where he ordered the preparations.
Last year certain packages sent to the former athlete by an Australian company were intercepted by customs officials. It was written on the intercepted bottles that they contained the doping drug TB-500. It is a peptide hormone which is able to increase muscle power and speed healing. An investigation was started by the Belgian authorities. It was suspected that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping preparations. This sportsperson rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of the career he was with this team.
An analysis of the bottles intercepted by customs illustrated that they contained only amino acids. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer confirmed that the case had to be dropped. He pointed out that since the preparation was not linked with doping, the former rider didn’t deserve to be punished.
Johan Lescrauwaet, the prosecutor’s spokesperson claimed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the medication that was written on the label and to the words of the former rider.
 Just amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping product. So, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping products to other persons.
The hearing of former professional athlete was scheduled to be later.
