According to the police report, these guys dealt HGH and counterfeit meds, mostly for erectile dysfunction. Apparently, they didn't deal EPO - that belonged to the masters club's director.ElChingon said:Adding in the pic's
Not that I can really tell what's what in those huge stashes, maybe someone else?

Should masters riders, especially those over 45, be prevented from taking a drug for its intended medicinal purpose just becuase it is on the banned list? I accept that younger, especially elite and professional riders should have to make this sacrifice, but it seems dogmatic to hold part-time amateur master's to the same standards.

Mrs John Murphy said:Isn't this the Spanish Authorities doing a UCI - bust the little guys and leave the bigger fish alone.
Mrs John Murphy said:When they arrest Pepe Marti then I'll believe that the Spanish are serious about doping. Until then this type of raid is just window dressing.
L'arriviste said:After high expectations last night, I must declare myself very disappointed with this story.
Both from the point of view of old duffers feeling that they matter enough to charge up and the fact that a decent-shaped Spanish bust is long overdue.
Oldman said:Masters riders that need to take a drug to live their life should. They should also be able to separate that priority from the need to compete in a controlled environment. They're still free to hammer on training sessions and be happy. Unfortunately the justification provided by the medical community to consume a remedy for every new, advertised dysfunction and the fragile egos of aging athletes tend to cross ethical lines with ease.
