With Spanish officials investigating the Operación Puerto doping scandal now claiming that up to three bags of blood testing positive for EPO were under the name of "Sevilliano", the man who is often rumoured to bear this nickname is defending himself. Oscar Sevilla, who was first suspended and later fired by the T-Mobile Team, was surprised by the reports and sees himself as the victim of a conspiracy.
"This Operation Puerto is making my life impossible," he told the Spanish newspaper El Mundo. "A while ago I was warned that they were out to get me and my colleague Paco Mancebo."
