Unibet had also been drawn into the Operación Puerto doping investigation. The cyclist Carlos Quesada was named by the Spanish 🏵 authorities as a patient of Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes and was suspended by the team.[2] Although Quesada had been named, he 🏵 has not yet been formally charged with doping, which led to the management of Unibet to lift its suspension of 🏵 Quesada two weeks after it was imposed.[3] Nevertheless, the team did not pay the Spanish cyclist his salary, which led 🏵 to a lawsuit, finally resolved with Quesada leaving the team in exchange for a compensation.

The team, whose sponsors have pulled 🏵 out of cycling, failed to submit its application for renewal by the 20 November 2007 deadline and did not take 🏵 part in the 2008 UCI ProTour.[4] Many of the team members went to the newly formed team Vacansoleil.

Dispute with race 🏵 organisers [ edit ]

Despite obtaining a ProTour license for the 2007 season, Unibet were not granted entry in Paris–Nice, the 🏵 inaugural race of the series. The organiser of the French race, Amaury Sport Organisation, argued that French law bans gambling 🏵 companies (except for Française des Jeux and PMU, as well as some casinos). Nevertheless, Unibet took part in the French 🏵 races GP La Marseillaise and Étoile de Bessèges with special jerseys without their sponsor's name.
