Spanish state prosecutor office contests blood bags verdict in Operation Puerto doping case Anti-doping agencies had asked the judge for the blood bags seized from Fuentes's clinic to be handed over for analysis to allow them to identify all of the athletes who used his services. So far, more than 50 cyclists have been implicated in the doping conspiracy but Fuentes admitted during his trial that his clients also included athletes from football, tennis, athletics and boxing. The International Cycling Union announced earlier this week that it, too, would be appealing, while the World Anti-Doping Agency and Spain's anti-doping watchdog are considering whether to join the legal challenge. The state prosecutor said it would also be asking for Fuentes's sentence to be increased from one to two years and for co-defendant Ignacio Labarta, a former official of the Kelme cycling team, to have his suspended jail term increased from four months to two years. Three other defendants in the case were acquitted by the judge and the state prosecutor said it would be seeking to overturn the non-guilty verdict handed down to Manolo Saiz, the former ONCE and Liberty Seguros team sports director. Meanwhile, Travis Tygart, the head of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, has renewed his attack on the world cycling federation, the UCI, for its lack of action since the publication last October of Usada's damning investigation into Lance Armstrong's doping activities. After meeting European Union sports officials in Brussels, Tygart said: "We have seen nothing. It has been over seven months since our report and their declaration that they needed to take decisive action, so of course we are frustrated.
