The Colombian doctor Fredy Alexander Gonzales Torres will be judged on Monday at Marseille Courtto the south -east of France, for the so -called attempt to dopar his countryman Nairo Quintana and his brother Dayer On the 2020 tour, where both ran to French Team Armea.
The doctor, who has not fallen for French land since then, has not traveling to the Mediterranean town, for his mother’s delicate state of health and the massive distance from Colombia, his lawyer told Eph, his lawyer told EFE, Mohamed the YouSfi.
Case will jump to light the next day the race ends, with Slovenian success Tadej PogacarOn September 21, 2021, finding out that gendarmes were registered in hotel rooms occupied by Meribel Alpine Station.
The records took place four days before and to them agents were seized by products prohibited by the International Cycling Union and material to produce injections commonly used to administer doping products.
In particular, 100 milliliters of physiological serum were found, a product that can be used to reduce the hematocrit rate in the blood and thus mask a possible blood transfusion.
One day after the end of the tour, doctor Gonzales Torres, who was hired for that career edition for the medical leave of the official Doctor of Armea, who had Covid, was arrested, as well as Quintana’s masseuse, Spanish Mikel OTRO. Quintana was also asked, just like his brother.
The Marseille Prosecutor’s Office opened an investigation that lasted for three years, in which he conducted many interrogations and records, despite the fact that Quintana or his brother gave positive to any of the controls in which they underwent.
In fact, the French doping agency, responsible for the controls during the tour, did not know the operation ordered by the Marseille prosecutor’s office.
The doctor’s lawyer, the single defendant in the case, assured that he would ask for the motion of the cause by consideration that they forced his client to reveal the facts covered by the medical secret, protected by a professional clause.
According to the lawyer, the instructions “did not determine the doctor’s guilt” and based on “in assumptions only.”
“As my client has always said, the products they find in their room are for personal use. He is a non -traditional doctor, trained in natural treatments, is not accustomed to working in the cyclist and ignoring doping treatments,” he added.
The serum found, he said, served to treat Nairo’s skin irritation, which experienced a fall in an Ortigas bush.
The lawyer considers the accusation against the doctor actually pursuing Quintana, which he thinks is at the point of view of the ICU for his sports results.
She is Boyacá cyclist.
During his last participation in the tour, in 2022, he ended the sixth, but it was not qualified two weeks later due to the test positive for tramadol, a product that UCI forbids even though he was not doping, so he would not be punished.
