Not a journalist was also went to check the remarks made by former cyclist Manzano on doping in football. "In the dressing Fuentes, there were players from major teams including Real Madrid. The judge in charge of the Puerto case has never motioned to hear me. I get called, I'll explain everything I know: that there were football players among the clients of Fuentes and they were not going to get a prescription of dietary supplements. "
