Listen, I've not no doubt that he has supplied riders with drugs, but I also don't beleive that he slithered around to EVERY one of his athletes and talked them into the stuff.

Frank Schleck never should have had a case. This is a witch hunt, and everyone knew it. Whether Frank doped at one point in his career or not, I don't know, but it's useless to know now.
What you're missing here is that at the time of the scandal Fuentes had already ended his career as a team doctor and no longer had any legitimate connection to professional cycling. Fuentes wasn't a coach like Ferrari, so the idea that he was just paying for training programs makes no sense.
