As far as I am aware there is no proof that Nadal's name was linked to the Fuentes case. This is all in the minds of those who want to believe ill of Nadal. Like I said the less you know the more you make up.
hey guys, leave Nadal alone.

Ricci Bitti - allegations without foundation.
DRUGS REPORTS DISMISSED BY ITF
The International Tennis Federation has dimissed reports that tennis players are linked to a drugs scandal engulfing the sport of cycling.
The doctor at the centre of the Spanish doping investigation which led to several riders withdrawing from the Tour de France, claims he has also treated tennis players, footballers and athletes.
Eufemiano Fuentes told Cadena Ser radio: "I'm angry about the whole matter. I've worked with other sports; tennis, football and athletics. There are a lot of names that haven't come out."
But ITF president Francesco Ricci Bitti said that his organisation had spoken to Spanish authorities investigating the case and that the reports were without foundation.
He said: "Earlier this week, following reports in the media, the International Tennis Federation was immediately in touch with the appropriate Spanish authorities to request information about allegations that tennis players are under investigation in Operation Puerto.
"We have today been assured in writing by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science that no tennis players, either Spanish or foreign, are under investigation.
"We feel that it is unfair and unfortunate that tennis players, including Rafael Nadal, have been named, erroneously, as under investigation.
"All top players are tested regularly under the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme and are very aware of the rules of the WADA Code. We appreciate the assistance of the Spanish authorities in providing us very quickly with the necessary confirmation."
Nadal also reacted angrily earlier this week when questioned about reports linking him to the doping investigation in Spain.
The 20-year-old French Open champion said: "I have never taken anything in my life and I never will. I am well enough educated in the sporting world and outside not to cheat.
"People who write lies about other people are bad people. There is nothing more to say about this. My manager is speaking to my lawyers."
Yeah because Doctor Fuentes has reason to lie right?
And we should just believe the Spanish anti-doping authorities right!? Because they would turn in their national hero Rafael Nadal right?
