Ex-President: Real San Sebastian got doped
The former president of the Real Sociedad San Sebastian (Spanish Primera Division) confirmed in an interview with the Spanish sports paper AS, that team doctors bought doping substances for a period of several years.
Inaki Badiola has been president of Real Sociedad San Sebastian for not even a year, but in retrospect, it was a good one. Badiola speaks in public. He talks with AS about two team-doctors who bought doping substances for San Sebastian for several years.
The doctors names: Eduardo Escobar and Antxon Gorrotxategi. They paid for the forbidden substances with black money, says Badiola. The approval for these payments came according to Badiola from the top of the club, from the former presidents of San Sebastian. Badiola supports his allegations on two evidences: He has obtained a bill for illegal substances and he has an e-mail in which Gorrotxategi asks him for money to buy doping substances. Badiola says he stopped the illegal doings while being president.
Back in 2008 Badiola spoke publicly about doping at San Sebastian. According to him there has been a box with 327.000 Euro of black money to pay doping substances. Escobar und Gorrotxategi rejected the allegations back then, no one ever clarified the allegations. [a report from 2008 in Spanish]
But the report from 2008 got explosive force again: The abbrevation RSOC was found in the Fuentes files. In Spain RSOC stands for Real Sociedad San Sebastian. Badiola is convinced that this abbrevation points to his former club and that Fuentes has been a source for the illegal substanced used by San Sebastian.
Allegedly RSOC has been found in the Fuentes files for the year 2003 when San Sebastian surprisingly became runner-up to Real Madrid in the Spanish championship, just two points behind. Later the club descended to the second league and came back in 2010. Last year San Sebastian finished Primera Division twelfth.
Fuentes himself admittet last week that he had provided doping substances to footballers.
