Wayne Odesnik's and Operacion Puerto's List of Dopers

Now that Wayne Odesnik has been labeled the doping snitch trying to win favor with the ITF and getting his two year ban cut to one year (he can actually start playing tennis today!), one cannot help but wonder who is on his list of tennis dopers and what information he leaked.

Doping and sports have always had a negative relationship but it came to a head in the infamous, "Operacion Puerto." Operacion Puerto involved many Spanish professional cyclists being found with performance enhancers, steriods and blood cleaners provided by Spanish Doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.

One of the performance-enhancing drugs that was identified was EPO, which increases one's endurance through producing more red blood cells that allow the retention of more oxygen. How does this implicate tennis?

UCI president Pat McQuaid said, "I’m sad that some of our top riders find themselves implicated in a doping affair but, on the other hand, if they are eventually proven guilty, then cycling is better off without them. ...

"You must bear in mind also that this isn't just a problem of cycling. We have got this list from the authorities in Spain because we forced the issues; pressure came from the UCI and the French Ministry as well that we wanted this list before the Tour de France.

"There are other sports people from other sports involved this affair as well, and in time their names will also come out...I have been told that athletics, basketball, TENNIS and football are involved in this. Those details will all emerge over time."

I know that these guys are tested thoroughly and often, but I also know that the tests don't pick up all the drugs. 

Players caught with steriods: Juan Ignacio Chela, Guillermo Coria, Sesil Karatantcheva, Bodhan Ulihrach, Petr Korda, Ignacio Truyol, Petr Korda.

Who do you think is on the Odesnik's list?
