Spanish Court Tosses Puerto Case, McQuaid Hopes for Appeal
As expected, a Spanish magistrate shelved the Operation Puerto yesterday. The move might lead one to believe the case was over, and all riders were in the clear – but that may not be the case just yet. Pat McQuaid, head of the UCI, told reporters that he hopes the case prosecutor files an appeal to the courts decision within the required three days time period. The move may allow the UCI to study some evidence in the case and decide whether or not any riders have violated any doping laws.
