10 persons that were linked with international drug ring were detained by Spain’s national police

Spain’s police busted a large doping ring.
 According to affirmations of police officers, sportspeople who tested positive at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Vuelta a Espana got steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs from this doping ring.
10 persons who were implicated in this drug ring were arrested. Professional cyclists and other athletes had links with this illicit drug network.  It was a popular source of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs in the world of top athletes.
The investigation was codenamed “Operation Skype”. The physician  Alberto Beltran Nino was the leader of the doping ring. He is a former doctor of Liberty Seguros team. This person was detained and sentenced to prison, when he tried to flee from Madrid to Columbia. Cezar Perez, the former personal coach of the champion Marta Dominguez, was also detained by Spain’s police officers.
Although the center of the doping ring was established in Barcelona, it was a multinational company. The ring was connected with Morocco and Columbia. Steroids, HGH and EPO CERA were sold by this illegal drug ring.
Dr. Beltran also worked with Xacobeo-Galicia team. David Garcia, the rider of this team, tested positive for EPO at the 2010 Vuelta.
The investigation began summer last year. It was originally related to the runner Jose Luis Blanco after he was sentenced to 2-year ban because of positives for prohibited medications.
