Valverde accuses UCI and CONI of vendetta
Alejandro Valverde has accused the presidents of the International Cycling Union (UCI) and the Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) of having “an institutional and personal viciousness” against him. The Spaniard also continued to protest against claims that he has been involved in doping, saying, “No banned substance has ever been detected in my body and my biological profile is flawless.”. Perhaps, but you fail to explain Dr Fuentes having bags of your blood.
Gianni Petrucci, the head of CONI, has said, "It doesn't give a good impression of cycling to see an athlete who continues to compete after the sentence has been confirmed by all agencies, sporting and judicial.” Yes! We have a winnner! Valverde most recently won the final stage and overall title at the Tour de Romandie on Sunday.
"These statements by these leaders can only be understood within the institutional and personal viciousness that exists against me, and for the sole purpose of putting pressure on institutions, especially the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to make decisions even if this penalty has to go against the applicable regulations," said the Caisse d'Epargne rider. If the Spanish authorities had not thoroughly botched the Puerto investigation and you had served your deserved two year suspension back in '06, you would not be dealing with this now.
The accusations "refer to events that allegedly occurred more than six years ago. Ummm... Operation Puerto was four years ago. My main victories (including the Tour of Spain, Liège-Bastogne-Liège Wrong, one was in 2006, Dauphiné Libéré, Tour of Catalonia, stages at the Tour de France Wrong, one was in 2005, Tour de Romandie Wrong 3rd overall in '06 with a stage win) are indisputable, Evidently, they are disputable" he said. "They seek to cast doubt on the victories gained over my career and to damage my public image." You cast the doubt your career and victories by being involved with Operation Puerto, genius. Now, if you care to explain why you were giving your blood to an obstetrician that just happens to have been implicated by other professional cyclists, MAYBE, we might cut you some slack.
