SyringeSpanish police break up doping ring
Police in Spain have made 11 arrests in connection with an alleged doping ring and are questioning suspects regarding offences connected with doping in sport.
According to Spanish newspaper El Pais, the investigation, begun in August and codenamed Grial, revolves around one of those arrested, Walter Viru, formerly doctor to the Kelme pro cycling team.
Viru, a Peruvian by nationality, is an ex-colleague of Eufemiano Fuentes, the doctor at the centre of the ongoing Operacion Puerto investigation.
The newspaper adds that three cyclists are also among those who have been arrested. Two of those – one of whom is a paracyclist – are amateurs, while the third is Pedro Vera of the Spanish pro team Contentpolis-Ampo.
The arrests followed raids by the Guardia Civil on a number of private residences, pharmacies and clinics in Barcelona, Granada, Murcia and Valencia, and police confirmed in a statement that EPO and growth hormones had been found at some of those addresses.

Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.
Looks like that's what they did. Although they also used the "no no cycling" sign: https://maps.app.goo.gl/m3C3LwKZAwTVSrSq6
It doesn't help that most of these e-bikes are actually classed as motor vehicles and are ridden illegally in UK.
I've been riding 170s on the road and 165s on the track for 30 years. I've always loved 165s. I'm 1m 84, with short legs and a long back.
