Wim Vansevenant doesn’t deserve to be punished

The case connected with Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, altered essentially. An analysis displayed that the doping preparations that were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents listed on the labels. This person was cheated by the company where he ordered the products.
Last year several packages sent to Wim Vansevenant 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 represents a peptide hormone which can enhance 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 athlete rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of his career he was working with this team.
An analysis of the bottles intercepted by customs manifested that only amino acids were contained. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer argued that the accusations had to be dropped. He pointed out that since the medication was not linked with doping, the former rider didn’t deserve to be punished.
The prosecutor’s spokesperson Johan Lescrauwaet confirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the preparation which was indicated on the label and to the affirmations of the former sportsperson.
 Only amino acids were found in the bottles. No any doping drug. So, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping products to other persons.
The hearing of Wim Vansevenant was scheduled to be later.
