Amino acids were discovered in bottles sent to Wim Vansevenant and intercepted by customs

The case against Wim Vansevenant, a former Belgian rider, changed essentially. An analysis illustrated that the doping preparations which were ordered by him didn’t contain the contents enumerated on the labels. The former Belgian rider 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. It was written on the intercepted bottles that they contained the doping medicine TB-500. It represents a peptide hormone which has ability to induce enhancing stamina 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 medications. This sportsperson rode professionally 10 years, from 1998 to 2008. Last 6 years of his riding career he was working with this team.
An analysis of the bottles intercepted by customs showed that just amino acids were presented. Wim Vansevenant’s lawyer claimed that the accusations had to be dropped. He pointed out that since the medication was not linked with doping, the former sportsperson didn’t deserve to be punished.
The prosecutor’s spokesperson Johan Lescrauwaet affirmed that the contents didn’t correspond to the name of the medicine which was written on the label and to the affirmations of the former rider.
 Just amino acids were discovered in the bottles. No any doping drug. Thus, there is no any evidence that Wim Vansevenant provided doping products to other persons.
The hearing of the former Belgian rider was scheduled to be later.
