Paris - A French court on Friday handed down an 18-month custodial jail term to Bernard Sainz, a homeopathic practitioner, after he was found guilty of administering doping products to athletes and practising medicine without a licence.
Sainz, nicknamed Docteur Mabuse after the character created by writer Norbert Jacques, received a three-year sentence overall following a trial in March and must serve 18 months behind bars.
His lawyer said he would appeal.
