According to Spanish newspaper as, Enrique Gómez, a lieutenant of the Guardia Civil, said in his court statements that there were "data processing errors" which caused an unintended version of a report being delivered to the presiding judge and the sports council, Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD). Gómez made the statements in Madrid's court 19 in front María Luisa Alvarez, where there was the public prosecutor and his own lawyer. Judge Alvarez has confirmed these statements by the lieutenant which took place on August 13, which gave rise for the current court case.
