Eufemiano Fuentes, the Spanish sports doctor at the center of the Operation Puerto doping investigation, continues to make provocative statements.“The person who wins the Tour might have had a consultation with me,” Fuentes told Las Provincias newspaper. “There are riders linked to me, but I won’t ever say who they are. If the names came out of the riders who have been linked to me and the ethical code was applied, the Tour organisers would be the only ones to reach Paris.”
So, good doctor, why the hell did YOU do what YOU did?
How have you served your profession?
The answer is simple, because there's a balance of good and evil in the world.
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough I don't blame Fuentes as he must represent his portion of the balance. I blame the racers who slipped into this coma and never had the garbones to stand up, even at the cost of thier own career, and blow the whistle. Lance included. If he is so clean, why didn't go on a clean racing crusade like so many others he's adopted?!!
Again, I admire David Millar for taking his recent stance. I am so embittered by this scandal, I simply get more mad by the day.
Aside from the John Litgow likeness (think World According to Garp), Dr. Fuentes is as slimy a persona, and as narcissitic, as they come.
ReplyDelete53rd is right in that the riders have to take responsibility for their actions, but for a guy whose chosen profession has a code of conduct whereby his patient's records are supposed to be confidential he sure is loose lipped.
The oddest things I've heard lately is that he claims that he didn't treat one rider from the Communidad Valencia team . Huh? That's where it all started. Whose blood did you think you were doping when the CV team physician made contact with you?
