Australian company sent fake doping products to Wim Vansevenant

The case linked with Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, changed significantly. An analysis manifested that the doping medicines which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents written on the labels. This former athlete was cheated by the company where he ordered the medicines.
Last year some packages sent to the former athlete by an Australian company were intercepted by customs officials. According to the labels of  the intercepted  bottles,  they contained the doping substance TB-500. It is a peptide hormone which has ability to induce increasing muscle power and promote healing. An investigation was started by the Belgian authorities. It was suspected that Wim Vansevenant supplied the Omega Pharma-Lotto team with doping products. This athlete 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 only amino acids were contained. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer noted that the charges had to be dropped. He pointed out that since the drug was not related to doping, the former sportsperson didn’t deserve to be punished.
Johan Lescrauwaet, the prosecutor’s spokesperson affirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the medicine which was indicated on the label and to the words of the former sportsperson.
 Only amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping medication. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping products to other individuals.
The hearing of the former Belgian rider was scheduled to be later.
