W52-FC Porto: Adriano Quintanilha and Nuno Ribeiro jailed | OneFootball

Adriano Quintanilha, former boss of W52-FC Porto, and the then sporting director, Nuno Ribeiro, were sentenced this Friday to effective prison terms of four years and nine months for a doping scheme.

During the reading of the judgment of the "Prova Limpa" operation trial, which involved 26 defendants, including former cyclists, and took place in a pavilion annexed to the Paços de Ferreira Prison, the president of the panel of judges stated that, in summary, "almost all the facts" of the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) accusation were proven.

The court found that Quintanilha covered the costs of the doping substances and had the final decision on their use, while Nuno Ribeiro established the connection with the cyclists, acquired the illicit products, and instructed the athletes regarding the doping substances, who were sentenced to suspended sentences or fines.
