MONTREAL (AP) — The World Anti-Doping Agency says it is considering whether to appeal the verdict of a Spanish court which ordered the destruction of evidence in the Operation Puerto doping case.
WADA director general David Howman says in a statement that the decision to order the destruction of the blood bags is “particularly disappointing and unsatisfactory for … the whole anti-doping community.”
He says WADA is reviewing options with its Spanish legal advisers before the May 17 deadline for appeals in the case.
Despite being found guilty, Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes was given a one-year suspended jail sentence.
