Doping

its not in Spain's national interest to expose widespread doping in football - their economy is fucked and football is a huge export, not to mention underpinning their (fragile) national psyche.

It's a political decision too - who would want to be the Prime Minister who encouraged the exposé of back-to-back tournament winning national team? Same reason Obama didn't want to crucify Lance in an election year.

And there's the rub: people don't want to know their favourite team is doping, in their favourite sport. Doping is something cyclists or track athletes do, not football or tennis players.

Plus the Spanish are notorious for not considering it cheating anyway.
