That's a piti, he was entertaining. The moral of the story is if you're
a pro you should eat your dog before it screws you.

Did you read the response from Caisse d'Espargne? I wasn't quite sure
if they are commending him or condemning him:

Abarca Sports, owner of Valverde's team, called the court's ruling "a
confirmation of the position sustained permanently by Abarca Sports
about the irreproachable behaviour of Valverde during his five and
half years career with Abarca Sports."

I mean, the court did give him a two year suspension after all...but I
guess they're happy he gets to keep his results?
