Just when you thought everyone was doping, cops were honest, and the justice system was only doing it’s job… Forgery in Vasseur case
A handwriting expert solicited by the court in Nanterre, France has confirmed that the signature of Cédric Vasseur in the case files was forged. Vasseur, who remains under investigation in the Cofidis affair but denies any use of banned substances, indicated that the signature on a case file was not his. Vasseur and his lawyer Bertrand Wambeke have expressed their outrage at this latest development in the ongoing legal procedure.
“The expert’s analysis doesn’t surprise me at all, since one of the policemen who was particularly aggressive said to me over and over, ‘you’ll be the informant for Cofidis’”.
The signature in question accompanied a statement which Vasseur also denies having made, one which reportedly included an admission to the use of banned substances.
“I hope the justice minister will call for an investigation and that those responsible for this forgery will be punished,” Vasseur commented.
