GTman Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 From Cycling news . com... Due?as transferred to French court Spanish rider Moises Due?as was transported to a court in Tarbes on Thursday morning. After testing positive for blood-booster EPO, police found several forbidden substances in the Barloworld rider's hotel room, which is why he was arrested and held in custody overnight. Due?as will now have to explain himself about the doping substances to a criminal court. In France, the possession of doping products is a criminal offense. The 27 year-old could face up to five years imprisonment and a fine of up to 75,000 Euros if severe doping products like EPO or anabolic steroids were found. The nature of the products seized has not yet been revealed. A team spokesperson told Cyclingnews, "The doctor of the team is not involved as the substances weren't given by the doctor."
shaunh Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 IMHO, something smells fishy or these guys are just way too arrogant!!Who would keep banned sunbstances lying around when they know that the Anti-doping agencies and Police can pounce any minute.........
Poison Ivy Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 maybe it was "planted".....that bring us back to the conspiracy thing.....

Sitting in a police cell facing a prison term for a (possible) bit of glory in a stupid bike race - things tend to change in perspective.
fandacious Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 "Barloworld rider Moises Duenas, who was removed from the Tour de France after he failed a doping control for EPO, was found to have not just some doping products, but a "small pharmacy" in his room, AFP reported Thursday. Duenas appeared before a French court in Tarbes Thursday to face criminal charges for "use and possession of plants and poisonous substances". " haha... no wonder his roomie was so quick to pull out of the race. A small pharmacy? And team management knew nothing about it? yeah right...
TarmacPro Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Was it planted in his room? Or was it "growing" there?
javadude Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Like fandacious said he had a small pharmacy in his room, including blood bags etc. How this can go unnoticed by the team is beyond me. velo2008-07-17 13:16:46
