After saying he had information that some 20 people (riders, soigneurs and dealers) were allegedly involved in doping in Belgian cycling, Belgian senator Jean-Marie Dedecker has confidentially given the name of a soigneur to the national cycling federation.

Senator Dedecker last week gave his full dossier to Johan Sabbe, a magistrate specialising in drug matters, who is conducting a criminal investigation into the matter.
