Un stock de 37 produits. L'Équipe, 12-9-2002. 2 5 - 1 1 - 2 0 0 5 French court told doping products found in car of Rumsas' wife
AP
BONNEVILLE, France - Items found in the car driven by Lithuanian cyclist Raimondas Rumsas' wife were doping products, a toxicology expert told a French court Thursday. Gilbert Pepin confirmed that the 37 products found in Edita Rumsas' car when she was stopped at the French-Italian border on July 28, 2002 - the last day of the Tour de France - could be used for doping purposes. "Beta-stimulants, anabolic steroids, diuretics, EPO, growth hormones, etc.," Pepin said. "They are doping products. The amount seized is not enough for a whole team but are for one person's use." Pepin added that some of the other products seized could have been used in tandem with a doping product. Rumsas finished third in the 2002 tour, which was won by Lance Armstrong. Rumsas and his 31-year-old wife, Edita, appeared in a French court Thursday to answer doping charges. "Before all these events I was a cyclist, now I am unemployed," the 33-year-old Rumsas said at the trial opening. He faces up to three years in prison and a fine if convicted of importing and possessing prohibited substances. His wife, a mother of four children, risks up to five years imprisonment on that charge and another of supplying doping products. When the products were found in her car, she originally claimed they were for her ill mother. But under three hours of questioning by prosecutor Vincent Le Pannerer, Rumsas' wife then claimed they were for herself, her husband, her children and her "seriously ill" mother. She said some of the products were prescribed by Polish doctor Kristof Ficek for problems with her joints and anemia. Asked about a small pouch of doping products with "Raimondas" labelled on it, she said "my husband gave it to me because he had no more room in his luggage." Ficek, accused of prescribing doping products, did not appear at the Bonneville criminal court in the Alps. Pepin said none of the products "had anything to do with any illness suffered by Mrs. Rumsas or her mother." Rumsas' wife was placed under investigation and detained for 73 days before being released on bail. Rumsas is hugely popular in his Baltic state of 3.5 million people. Some, angered at his wife's detention, demonstrated in front of the French Embassy in the capital, Vilnius. 0 2 - 0 2 - 2 0 0 6 Lithuanian cyclist faces suspended jail time
The Baltic Times VILNIUS - A French court has sentenced Lithuanian cyclist Raimondas Rumsas and his wife, Edita Rumsiene, to suspended jail terms for doping offenses committed in 2002. The Court of Bonneville sentenced Rumsas, 34, and his 32-year-old wife to four months in prison on Jan. 26, said Marijus Dunda, consul of the Lithuanian Embassy in France. But, the couple can avoid imprisonment if they keep away from illegal activity for the next four months. Rumsas, who finished third in the 2002 Tour de France, and his wife were charged with possessing and importing illegal substances. At the time, Rumsiene was caught with growth hormones and EPO – an endurance enhancing drug - in her car. The court handed her a fine of 3,000 euros on top of suspended jail time. Polish doctor Krzystof Ficek, who prescribed the doping products, was sentenced to one year of suspended imprisonment. All three suspects have been ordered to pay 1,000 euros each in moral damages to the French cycling federation. Defense lawyers have not yet indicated whether they will file appeals. Although the case was examined on Nov. 24, 2005 the court postponed sentencing for two months. Shortly after the 2002 Tour de France, police detained Rumsiene at the French-Italian border. She was in possession of a large quantity of illegal medications. Rumsiene claimed the drugs were for her ill mother and was detained for 75 days before being released on bail. The news disgraced Rumsas, who had just won bronze in the Tour. His name was further stained when French officers discovered that Rumsiene was carrying anabolic substances, cortisone, testosterone and growth hormone medications. In the wake of the scandal, Rumsas was banned for a year from the 2003 Giro d’Italia race for taking illegal drugs. Although he failed a test for EPO the cyclist has always denied taking any illegal substances. |
