    Spanish doping doctor Eufemiano Fuentes could be ready to sell his secrets about his sporting clients to the highest bidder


    Dr EuFuentes was sentenced to one year in prison in April for breaking public health laws after administering blood transfusions and banned drugs to top cyclists.
    However, the court ruled that over 100 bags of blood belonging to unidentified athletes from a range of sports did not have to be handed over to anti-doping bodies.
    That sparked fears that Fuentes's doping activities would be covered up, but now the disgraced doctor may be ready to sell his story to the press and potentially expose a number of huge stories.
    The Guardian reports that Fuentes "has sent out a list of subjects that – for a price – he is now prepared to talk publicly about. It includes Spanish Champions League football teams, London Marathon winners, Olympic medallists and a long list of cyclists he was involved with."
    According to the paper, one of the revelations Fuentes has dangled is, in the doctor's own words, "How I prepared a team to play in the Champions League."

    Ridiculous that this is being swept under the carpet, I suspect people in positions of power within the game stand to loose a lot if any more revelations come out.

    drug doping is rife in sport even with pro footballers now, it seems the only way to make it as a elite athelete in any sport is to blood dope
