Aitor’s Excuse

Retired cyclist and 2002 Vuelta a España winner Aitor Gonzalez was arrested by the National Police for allegedly breaking into an Alicante City mobile phone shop. The 41-year-old, who has been arrested three times for various offences in the past, was caught by police at the premises where a window had been smashed, with a second man fleeing the scene.

Gonzalez was bailed and  claimed he had met the person that was actually responsible for the break-in at a party that night and that he fled the site before police arrived.
