Spain’s police busted doping ring that provided banned drugs to athletes that took part in 2008 Olympics

Spain’s police officers busted a large doping ring.
 According to affirmations of police officers, athletes who tested positive at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Vuelta a Espana got steroids and other related medicines from this doping ring.
10 individuals who were involved in this drug ring were detained. Professional cyclists and other athletes had relations with this illicit drug network.  It represented a prominent source of steroids and other related drugs in the world of elite sport.
The investigation was called “Operation Skype”. Dr.  Alberto Beltran Nino was the leader of the doping ring. He is a former doctor of Liberty Seguros team. This person was detained and sentenced to imprisonment, when he tried to flee from Madrid to Columbia. Cezar Perez, the former personal trainer of the athlete Marta Dominguez, was also arrested by Spain’s police.
Although the center of the doping ring was set in Barcelona, it represented a multinational company. The ring was linked with Morocco and Columbia. Steroids, HGH and EPO CERA were offered for sale by this illegal drug ring.
The doctor Beltran also worked with Xacobeo-Galicia team. David Garcia, the professional rider of this team, tested positive for EPO at the 2010 Vuelta.
The investigation started summer last year. It was initially linked with the runner Jose Luis Blanco after he was banned for two years because of positives for forbidden preparations.
