>Soler’s father — who claimed the lactate tests were for him — was handed an eighteen-month ban. Zonneveld finds that explanation hard to believe. “Of course not — that man was sitting in his car without any sports clothes on, waiting.” And in any case, he is no longer active as an athlete. “He’s 50-plus and sometimes does a veterans triathlon, but now he’s not even allowed to do that anymore,” Zonneveld laughed.
>“Basically, it’s almost certain that Marc Soler worked with Martí — the question is whether it can also be proven,” Zonneveld added. The analyst is therefore suspicious of the Spaniard when it comes to possible doping use. “Why on earth would you work with a suspended doctor for lactate tests? That’s something so simple you can almost do it yourself.”
>That Soler is linked to the story seems hard to dispute, but after three years it may be impossible for anti-doping authorities and Spanish justice to find definitive proof. “And that frustrates, among others, the Spanish police — they find it annoying that nothing can be done with it,” the Dutch analyst said.
