Tipo de Resolución: Sentencia
In the Operación Puerto doping case the Guardia Civil arrested on 22 May 2016 the Spanish sports doctor Eufemiano Fuentes together with other accomplices. In Fuentes' clinic and offices in Madrid, 186 blood bags were found belonging to professional athletes and marked with coded names, besides EPO, steroids, and growth hormone.
The scandal that grew from the arrests implicated well-known road racing cyclists Fuentes continually denied having performed illegal operations. He said that he did not work exclusively with cyclists but had other athletes as clients such as footballers and tennis players.
In January 2013 the Operacion Puerto trial was conducted against Fuentes and other accomplices under Spanish criminal law covering the illicit administration of medication, and not under the anti-doping legislation that exists in Spain today but did not exist back in 2006.
On the 29 April 2013 Fuentes was found guilty and given a 1-year suspended prison sentence.
In the Puerto trial the Spanish judge also ruled on a request from RFEC, WADA, UCI and CONI to hand over blood bags to the Spanish anti-doping agency. However the judge ordered on 29 April 2013 to destroy the blood bags, but the anti-doping agency appealed this decision.
Hereafter additional appeals where filed by the RFEC, WADA, UCI and CONI), as well as by the prosecution.

In the doping case Operacion Puerto the Guardia Civil arrested on 22 May 2016 the Spanish sports doctor Eufemiano Fuentes together with four other accomplices. In Fuentes' clinic, home and office in Madrid, 186 blood bags were found belonging to professional athletes and marked with coded names, besides EPO, steroids, and growth hormone.
In January 2013 the Operacion Puerto trial was conducted against Fuentes and accomplices under Spanish criminal law covering the illicit administration of medication, and not under the anti-doping legislation that exists in Spain today but did not exist back in 2006. On the 29 April 2013 Fuentes was found guilty and given a 1 year suspended prison sentence.
In the Puerto trial (case 52/2012) the Spanish judge also ruled on a request from RFEC, WADA, UCI and CONI to hand over blood bags to the Spanish anti-doping agency. However the judge ordered on 29 April 2013 to destroy the blood bags, but the anti-doping agency appealed this decision.
Hereafter additional appeals where filed by the RFEC, WADA, UCI and CONI, as well as by the prosecution against sentence 52/2012 of 29 April 2013.
On 10 June 2016 the Audiencia Provincial de Madrid ruled that 211 blood bags collected during the Operación Puerto doping investigation should be hand over to anti-doping authorities in Italy, as well as the UCI and the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The Spanish Court also absolved of guilt dr. Fuentes, who in 2013 was found by the Spanish court to have doped cyclists and handed a suspended jail sentence, with the new sentence his actions did not constitute a crime under Spanish law.
In April 2013, Spanish judge Santamaria found that Fuentes' use of blood-doping methods was illegal, although she decided that Spanish privacy laws prohibited the passing on of evidence to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), International Cycling Union (UCI) or Spanish Anti-Doping Agency (AEA) for further investigation or identification of individuals.
The Spanish judge Alejandro Maria Benito of the Audiencia Provincial de Madrid reversed on 10 June 2016 both decisions, and decided that evidence collected during a police investigation that dates back to 2006, and currently stored in Barcelona, can be investigated at again.
Speeding up the screening of steroids in urine : development of a user-friendly library / M. Galesio, H. López-Fdez, M. Reboiro-Jato, Silvana Gómez-Meire, D. Glez-Peña, F. Fdez-Riverola, Carlos Lodeiro, M.E. Diniz, J.L. Capelo. - (Steroids 78 (2013) 12-13 (11 December); p. 1226-1232)
Abstract
This work presents a novel database search engine - MLibrary - designed to assist the user in the detection and identification of androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS) and its metabolites by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and mass spectrometry-based strategies. The detection of the AAS in the samples was accomplished by searching (i) the mass spectrometric (MS) spectra against the library developed to identify possible positives and (ii) by comparison of the tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) spectra produced after fragmentation of the possible positives with a complete set of spectra that have previously been assigned to the software. The urinary screening for anabolic agents plays a major role in anti-doping laboratories as they represent the most abused drug class in sports. With the help of the MLibrary software application, the use of MALDI techniques for doping control is simplified and the time for evaluation and interpretation of the results is reduced. To do so, the search engine takes as input several MALDI-TOF-MS and MALDI-TOF-MS/MS spectra. It aids the researcher in an automatic mode by identifying possible positives in a single MS analysis and then confirming their presence in tandem MS analysis by comparing the experimental tandem mass spectrometric data with the database. Furthermore, the search engine can, potentially, be further expanded to other compounds in addition to AASs. The applicability of the MLibrary tool is shown through the analysis of spiked urine samples.
Spontaneous haemorrhage of hepatic adenoma in a patient addicted to anabolic steroids / D.L. Smit, J.H. Nuijens, W. de Ronde. - (Netherlands Journal of Medicine 77 (2019) 7 (August/September); 260-263).
- PMID: 31582578
Abstract
This case report describes a patient with a nearly fatal spontaneous haemorrhage of a hepatic adenoma that occurred in association with anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) use. The patient was addicted to AAS and had been using exceptionally high dosages as well as growth hormone. After cessation of AAS use, testosterone replacement therapy was started to prevent post-AAS hypogonadism and consequent relapse.

Sport and drugs : a critical analysis of the legal framework on doping in Kenya / Silicho Simiyu Soita. - Nairobi : Strathmore University, 2017. - Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Bachelor of Law Degree, Strathmore University Law School
Abstract:
Doping has been inadequately provided for in law, policy and practice in Kenya over a long period of time. Proliferation of doping cases among Kenyan athletes raised doubts over the ability of the Kenyan legal framework on anti-doping to regulate the use of performance enhancing substances. This resulted into a sanction by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
This study seeks to critically analyse the Kenyan legal framework on doping and assess its suitability to curb the number of doping incidences among Kenyan athletes. Among the issues to be considered include: the sufficiency and efficiency of existing Kenyan anti-doping laws, factors impeding the application of these laws and finally recommendations to improve their applicability and efficiency.
