Ahead of the Paris Olympics, renowned “doctor” Eufemiano Fuentes suddenly revealed that during the 1992 Olympics, the Spanish delegation’s athletes collectively doped, which led to the sudden surge of the Spanish team that year, winning 13 golds, 7 silvers, and 2 bronze medals.
Eufemiano Fuentes is a well-known doping expert in the cycling world. In front of a hidden camera, Eufemiano Fuentes disclosed the secrets before the 1992 Olympics: “The instruction I received from the Spanish government was to do everything necessary; we needed medals.”
However, the directive given to Eufemiano Fuentes by the higher-ups at the time was that no matter what drugs were used, there should be no positive tests and no harm to the athletes’ health.
Eufemiano Fuentes served as a doctor at the Madrid National Training Center and revealed that he had been working secretly for four years. Eufemiano Fuentes admitted that he administered various drugs to Spanish 400m sprinter Cayetano Cornet.
Notably, after retiring, Cayetano Cornet entered politics and has served multiple times as the head of the Spanish Olympic delegation. For the Paris Olympics, Cayetano Cornet remains the head of the delegation. However, following the exposure of the scandal, Spanish Olympic Committee President Blanco stated that he has not yet decided whether to remove Cayetano Cornet from his position as head of the delegation and will await instructions from higher authorities.
