Default The Fuentes Trial

On the C4 news this evening in the UK, they showed snippets from the courtroom featuring the Spanish case at the moment, i.e. Fuentes. There were shouts of 'Show Trial' during the hearings as (and has already been stated) the Spanish judge refused to divulge the entire list of sportsmen/women involved which includes tennis players. Note, the Spanish government has members high up being investigated for corruption currently.

C4 also interviewed the whistle blower who stated in the interview that he'd gone to the Police regarding the sportsmen that had on more than one occasion visited Fuentes' clinic. The police told him that they'd had pressure from above to ignore what they'd been told by him (the whistle blower).

Another gentleman was supposed to give evidence in court tomorrow regarding Fuentes and those involved. He seems to have died suddenly yesterday of a heart attack..............

No tin foil hat needed for this one.

Not the Channel 4 link, can't find it on their website, but just as credible from The Telegraph.

It is all that excitement about appearing in court. The man was overexcited with joy. Right?

No wonder, that Nadal wants the names on the list published. If everyone of importance ( barring 2/3 expendable athletes) is already out of this list, why would he not want that?

Spain is quickly turning into mafia state.

It is ugly.
