Courts Arantxa Sánchez Vicario, girlfriend of Spain on the brink of jail and ruin
Drama Why 80% of athletes end up broke: parents, bad investments, divorces and addictions
The news that jumped a few months ago about the prison request for Arantxa Sánchez Vicario shocked the Spanish population. The tennis player was a myth for the history of the sport of our country and, with that information, many could not help feeling that her past was somehow stained by the accusation. However, this is not the only account of
a fallen homeland star
. Gone is Marta Domínguez (45), the woman who reached the top of Spanish athletics.
Domínguez managed to be
twice European champion
in the 5,000 meters of Munich 2002 and Gothenburg 2006 and was second in the Edmonton 2001 and Paris 2003 World Championships. However, all that ended in 2010, when her name came out in the framework of the
operation Galgo
, a Civil Guard investigation related to doping. Since then, his career began to fall into disgrace and, according to Esdiario,
today he works as a security guard at the AVE Station in Palencia, his homeland
.
The judge in charge of the Galgo case
exonerated the athlete
from the charges of doping, supplying prescriptions without permission and a tax offense, but made clear her suspicions that Domínguez had been a user of prohibited substances in sport, "which would lead to
a sanction in this area, but never a criminal charge
".
That's how it went.
In 2013, the International Athletics Federation opened a file on him for doping, this time for irregularities with his biological passport, and in 2015
the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAS) recognized his doping
, withdrawing his gold in the Berlin World Cup and silver in Europeans from Barcelona.
He insisted on his innocence
Sport turned its back on him, but he was not the only one.
Domínguez had joined the Popular Party of Palencia in 2003 and in 2003 she was elected councilor for the sports area of the city council.
In 2011, she even became a Senator.
When skipping all the scandal, the PP eliminated it from its lists
.
In an interview for
COPE's
12
o'clock party, the athlete insisted that she had never taken drugs and that entering the PP was probably what harmed her.
"
My punishment has been a political issue
," Domínguez sentenced.
Since then, little data has been had on her.
It is known that he
tried to oppose the local police
, both at the basic level and as an inspector.
The results would not be satisfactory, since Esdiario also reports that before the pandemic she
worked as a monitor in a gym
in Palencia, which had to close due to Covid.
Again, he was forced to reconvert his life.
