By Thursday UCI President Pat McQuaid and seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong were calling the Fuentes affair the worst doping crisis in a decade.

"Unfortunately it's looking like it could be the biggest doping investigation in Spain and could be along the lines of the 1998 Festina scandal," McQuaid told Reuters.

That year the Festina team were booted from the Tour de France after a large supply of drugs were found in a team-car, causing top climber Richard Virenque to be banned for nine months.

"The ProTour ethics code is very clear concerning doping and people who are found guilty will be disciplined," McQuaid promised.

"If it is true that 200 riders are implicated we will not be afraid to take disciplinary action against them all."

Lance Armstrong went further than McQuaid.

"Manolo? Eufemiano? This is going to be worse than Festina," said the legendary American.
