Team plays down past involvment with 'Sven S.'
A former BMC soigneur has been arrested after a long-running investigation into his connection with a shipment of drugs found seized at Brussels airport in 2009. The investigation has taken 18 months and ultimately led to the arrest of 'Sven S.' according to Belgium newspaper Het Nieuwsblad.
Details of the arrest are still unclear, though the soigneur has admitted to police that the shipment's final destination was indeed for him and added only that the drugs were for his own personal use.
BMC have however played down any apparent connection with Sven S. Although John Lelangue did not want to comment, Jim Ochowicz has said that he isn't even familiar with the man.
"A part-time soigneur for us? His name means nothing to me. I also don't know anything about an arrest. This is the first I've heard of it."
Greg Van Avermaet also denied any soigneur by that name working for BMC.
"Sven S.? Yes, that name sounds familiar. I don't think he work for BMC though. I've never seen the guy at a race."
