The doctor implicated in two major anti-doping investigations in Spain has joined the medical team of third-tier Spanish football club Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The club confirmed to The Associated Press on Monday that Eufemiano Fuentes has been hired. No more details were available.
Fuentes was the main figure in the 2006 Operation Puerto investigation into the use of illegal performance-enhancing substances in cycling. He has also been implicated in the ongoing Operation Galgo by Spain's Civil Guard.
Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is currently in second place in Spain's third division.
