Adriano Quintanilha

Adriano Quintanilha is a former cycling team manager who recently made headlines after being sentenced to four years and nine months in prison for his involvement in a doping scheme within the W52-FC Porto cycling team. As the team's principal figure, he was found to have orchestrated the doping operations, making critical decisions regarding the acquisition and administration of prohibited substances for the athletes. His actions, alongside those of the team's sporting director Nuno Ribeiro, were deemed by the court as particularly egregious due to their significant roles in the doping network, leading to serious consequences for both the individuals involved and the integrity of the sport.
