The "naturopath" Bernard Sainz, alias the "Doctor Mabuse" of cycling, was sentenced on Monday to one year of house arrest under electronic surveillance for illegal practice of medicine and pharmacy and "aiding or inciting" doping.
Bernard Sainz has announced his intention to appeal to leave the court.
Mr. Sainz was also sentenced to a five-year ban from professions in connection with the health and sports sector.
He must also pay fines totaling 41,500 euros to the French Cycling Federation (FFC), the Order of Physicians and the Order of Pharmacists.
Former amateur cyclist, present in the world of cycling since he joined the Gan Mercier team as assistant sports director, Bernard Sainz, 78, has long maintained the reputation of a guru constantly flirting with the limits but taking advantage of his good relations in the peloton.
