Eufemiano Fuentes, the doctor at the centre of the Puerto and Galgo doping investigations, has joined the staff of the University of Las Palmas soccer team as head of medical services. Although currently under investigation after being implicated in the Galgo inquiry involving some of Spain’s best-known athletes, Fuentes will be responsible for the physical preparation of the players for the team that currently lies in second place in the third tier of Spanish soccer.
