Just read this article on the new user-friendly Cycling News site:

Interesting to read what Spain's Sport Minister makes of Operación Puerto and Valverde's alleged involvement in it.

My favourite sentence? Well, although not directly quoting the Sports Minister, it has to be:
Lissavetzky believes that over time Operación Puerto will be viewed as a positive outcome for the sport and a "clear message" in the fight against doping.

Just a bit confused here though. Can someone explained to me how this still not completed 3 year old investigation is a positive outcome for the sport?

When Manuel got the sack from Fawlty Towers, did he by chance get a gig in the Spanish Government?
