    Many different sports were involved in Operación Puerto, a doping case. Other than cycling, what were some of the sports that were involved in the case?

    Operación Puerto was mainly linked to doping in football, tennis and athletics, but the press concentrated on a small number of cyclists as Le Tour de France was about to start.
