In 2006, during the Operación Puerto doping case by the Spanish police, he was identified as the client of a doping traffic network led by Eufemiano Fuentes, under the code name Bonilla Alfredo.[3] Bonilla was not sanctioned by the Spanish government since doping was not a crime at the time. He did not receive any other sanction either since the judge assigned to the case refused to share the case's evidence with the World Anti-Doping Agency or the Union Cycliste Internationale. Spanish court 31 later cleared him and all the other members of Comunidad Valenciana of any involvement in the case. On a document dated 28 July 2006 the court's secretary made clear none of the team members were found guilty of doping.[4]
