"Größter Schwindel der Sportgeschichte"

Tour de France - "Größter Schwindel der Sportgeschichte"
Eurosport - Mo 30.Jul. 14:53:00 2007

Nach dem Abschluss der 94. Tour de France erhebt Professor Werner Franke
schwere Vorwürfe gegen den Sieger der Rundfahrt. Der Triumph von Alberto
Contador sei der "größte Schwindel der Sportgeschichte", denn der Spanier
sei bei der "Operacion Puerto" eindeutig des Dopings überführt worden.

m "ZDF-Morgenmagazin" erklärte Franke, genaue Informationen über die
Verstrickung von Contador in den Doping-Skandal um Eufemiano Fuentes zu
haben. Dem Molekular-Biologen sei offenbar das Protokoll der
Hausdurchsuchung von Fuentes zugespielt worden. Zudem tauche der Name
Contadors mehrfach in den Akten der Guardia Civil auf.

Dass Contador dennoch auf den Champs-Elysees als erster Spanier nach Miguel
Indurain jubeln durfte, liege an "einer Art Vertrag zwischen dem Weltverband
UCI und den spanischen Behörden, welche alles vertuscht und gelogen haben".

Jaksche: "Fuentes Handschrift wiedererkannt"

Ähnlicher Meinung ist auch Jörg Jaksche. Der frühere Teamkollege von
Contador bei Liberty Seguros bekräftigte in einem Interview mit der
"Süddeutschen Zeitung", dass in dem Team des mittlerweile verhafteten
Managers Manolo Saiz systematisch gedopt worden sei. Auf einem Dokument, das
Jaksche als "Medikationsplan für die Tour-Mannschaft von Liberty von 2005"
identifizierte, verberge sich hinter dem Kürzel "A.C." der Name Contadors.

Dass das Papier von Fuentes stamme und der Mediziner dieses wohl an einen
der Mannschaftsärzte von Liberty Seguros faxte, scheint für den Ex-Profi
wahrscheinlich. "Ich habe jedenfalls auf diesem Zettel Fuentes' Handschrift
wiedererkannt", so der 31-Jährige. Zudem unterstrich Jaksche, dass auch
Saiz' U-23-Mannschaft Wachstumshormone und Testosteron erhielt. Contador
gehörte zu dem Team.

"Die ganze Welt verarscht"

Jaksche glaubt nicht, dass der Youngster bereits als vermeintlicher
Kronzeuge ausgesagt hat: "Wenn das so wäre, könnte man das nicht als
Kronzeugen-Regelung titulieren. Das wäre eher ein komischer Deal. Denn
welcher Spanier wurde denn belangt? Die einzigen, die aufgeflogen sind, sind
Ullrich, Basso, Jaksche und Saiz mit seinen paar Hanseln."

Ungeschoren davongekommen ist bislang auch Alejandro Valverde, für den laut
Professor Franke "ebenfalls ein voll protokolliertes Doping-Dokument"
vorliege und der dennoch wie Contador bei der Frankreich-Rundfahrt starten
konnte. Ironisch stellte der Doping-Experte fest: "Spanien hat leider die
ganze Welt verarscht."

Sure! If they gave a damn about this Mr. Franke would not had had access to
any documentation. Simply put, the spanish authorities could have just sent
whatever was specific to germany, or nothing!

I could have believed something about Valv(piti).(I cannot deny he WAS the
darling of the media the last couple of years) but to put all this effort
in Contador, that was mostly aspiring to win the White Jersey? It must have
been Lance calling the King.

I'm not under illusions that Contador is as pure
as the driven snow and his white jersey, but Franke
is a publicity hound. It was Franke who _lost_ a
libel suit that Jan Ullrich filed, after Franke
said Puerto documents showed Jan paid Fuentes
Eur 35,000. Now, it's true that the documents said
all sorts of bad things about Jan, but they didn't
support the claim Franke made:

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...b07/feb14news2

"German anti-doping crusader, Dr. Werner Franke, claimed
to have read in the Operación Puerto documents that Jan
Ullrich paid the Spanish Dr. Fuentes €35,000 for illegal
doping products, but after losing a court case, he now has
admitted to radsport-aktiv.de that he 'can't read Spanish.'"

If you want to enlist behind this guy as lead general
in the Surge against Dope, go right ahead, but excuse
me if I have other priorities.

Maybe Franke used Google Translate?

From the same article:
"
"There are many unbelievable things in these documents, but this sentence
does not appear," said the ruling judge. "When you cite a source that
doesn't exist, you are out of luck!" The judge noted, however, that there
are numerous mentions of Ullrich in the documents prepared by the Spanish
Guardia Civil.

Franke's statement "just went a little too far," the judge said, noting that
"This deals with the way it was said, not the content," according to the
German press agency dpa."

And we do know that Jan's blood was with Dr. Fuentes.

Right. So there were a jillion bad things about
Jan in the documents, but Franke _still_ either made
something up, or (more charitably) misinterpreted a
language that he couldn't read, which he only later
grudgingly admitted! And now he's calling Contador
the "greatest swindle"? The man has gall. He's on
a quest for the greatest PR.

Du kannst auch Deutsch? Beeindruckend. Oder vielleicht Du kannst
ausschneiden und einfügen auf Deutsch.

Auf jeden Fall ... Herr Franke ist wie Dick Pound: hyperbolisch und
aufgetrumpft

We'll just have to see what the documents reveal.

There you have it from that gem Laff@me - partial truths cancel massive

He lost the lawsuit because there was no way he could esitmate the
cost of Ulrichs program with fuentes. The 35000 euro/year was a wild
guess.

in other words: a technicality. Since then he has not stopped his
accusations against Ulrich and Ulrich hasn't countered with additional
lawsuits.
