Earlier today Spain passed a new anti-doping law in what representatives say is an effort to clean up the country's tarnished image after the Operation Puerto case and boost Madrid's bid for the 2020 Olympics.

The Spanish doctor at the heart of one of cycling's biggest doping scandals earlier today was found guilty of endangering public health and given a one-year suspended jail sentence in the Operation Puerto case.

Two former professional cyclists earlier today turned down requests to have their DNA analyzed to see if any of the blood bags seized by Spanish police as evidence in the Operation Puerto doping trial could be linked to them.

Just days after Lance Armstrong's doping admission, professional cycling is set for more damaging revelations when the long-delayed Operation Puerto case finally goes to court in Spain.
