Manolo Saiz arrested

WADA ? what about the UCI ?JohnO said:
The UCI say there hands are tied:
"It is very frustrating for us in particular who want to do something, who want to sanction riders once they need sanctioning, and want to get rid of riders like this out of the sport, that at this moment in time our hands are tied behind our backs,"
But the CSD (The Spanish Sport Superior Council) say:
"a total collaboration with UCI as well as with the World Anti-Doping Agency"
and
"disclosed all available information on Operación Puerto to the UCI" and that "representatives of the Spanish Civil Guard attended the mentioned meeting that took place at the CSD in order to pass on the most possible data."
Seems like the UCI is up to its old tricks again.... denial !
his issues arn't going away!

Thanks for posting this update, ambal.
Wow, this case has been very very slow moving and it looks like the Spanish authorities while not being able to bring charges in the main case have decided to go after the culprits in another way, I presume?
