I'd recommend reading the Inner Ring's post from yesterday, in order to understand why no-one should get their hopes up too high about the trial.
http://inrng.com/2013/01/operation-puerto-trial-expectations/The key thing to realise is that this is
not a doping trial. Also, if it drags on through the year, by the time WADA get their hands on any useful documentation after the trial, they'll have a somewhat limited window of opportunity to act on it in order to sanction anyone, thanks to the eight year statute of limitations.
The other thing to bear in mind of course, is that when Op. Puerto hit the news 6 years ago, there was much talk about how cyclists were but a minority of Dr. Fuentes' clients - there were supposedly track & field athletes, swimmers, footballers and tennis players on his client list. But we have heard sweet FA about them, beyond various dirty rumours...
There is absolutely no way that the Spanish authorities will even countenance the fact that much of their nation's sporting success over the last decade could very well have been built on a carpet of blood bags.
