Former Real Sociedad midfielder Valery Karpin does not believe that he or any of his teammates at Anoeta took banned substances, as insinuated today.
Former Real President Inaki Badiola has said today that he suspects on trial doctor Eufemiano Fuentes of supplying then club physicians with banned doping substances.
When quizzed by reporters today in Russia, Karpin, who spent the final three years of his playing career back at Anoeta between 2002 and 2005, denied any knowledge of this.
“I cannot answer anything on that. I’m not aware of whether the team used doping or not,” commented the current Spartak Moscow Coach.
“Do I believe the club doctors supplied banned substances to the players? No.”
