At least eight of the fourteen people arrested Thursday as part of a vast anti-doping operation in Spain and accused of having distributed doping products appeared yesterday before an investigating judge in Madrid. The athlete Alberto Garcia walked free from the court in the middle of the day. The coach of the athlete Marta Dominguez, Cesar Perez, also came out saying that no charges had been brought against him. Marta Dominguez, 2009 world champion in the 3,000m steeplechase and the best-known figure in this operation called “Galgo”, should appear today before an investigating judge in Palencia (northern Spain). As part of this operation, carried out Thursday by the Civil Guard across the country, 15 searches were carried out in Palencia, Madrid, Alicante and Las Palmas (Canary Islands) and allowed the seizure of “large quantities of anabolics, steroids, hormones and various medications including EPO”, as well as “blood bags and laboratory equipment for carrying out blood transfusions”.
