Alberto Contador Busted.

Haven't seen a journal about it yet

Alberto Contador tested positive for a banned substance in July. He has been suspended by the governing body pending an investigation. Contador's spokesman blames the failed test on food contamination. Contador is expected to speak later today. Peter Flax, editor-in-chief of "Bicycling" magazine spoke to John Roberts on American Morning:

Peter Flax: Yes, it was 1/400th of the normal limit they test for. They're talking about a trace amount of a 20-year-old asthma drug. It's a really shocking piece of news.

John Roberts: So Alberto Contador claims that it was food contamination that led to this. Are they offering any further explanation of how this food might have gotten contaminated?

Flax: No, my desk will be buzzing with all sorts of statements and press releases. I think they're holding off on that piece until the press conference in a little while. In the present anti-doping system the way its written, athletes have to take responsibility for what goes into their body. He's on the hook in that way. I have to admit like a lot of observers seeing a trace amount of such an easily detectable drug that stays so long in your system that's so old, it does make you think there's a high likelihood that there's some explanation other than a deliberate amendment for performance enhancing.

Roberts: Now, because he was in the yellow jersey for so long during this year's tour he was heavily tested. All of the other tests have come back, as far as we know, negative. Isn't unusual that there would be, among all of these negative tests, one test that's positive with this tiny trace amount?

Flax: Yeah, it's definitely suspect from everyone I've talked to that clenbuterol stays in your system for such a long time. So to be such a trace amount that only showed up on one day, it's consistent with that kind of explanation. I certainly will be waiting like a lot of other observers to see what Alberto has to say and see how this all plays out. But it's really shocking to see a grand champion at the top of his game like Alberto Contador facing this kind of charge right now.

Roberts: In the meantime, until all of this is either cleared up or confirmed, his tour title certainly at risk. Peter Flax, we like you will be eagerly anticipating the press conference.


CONTADOR PISSED POSITIVE (only a small substance of clenbuterol though) AND HE BLAMES THE MEAT HE HAD EATEN A FEW DAYS BEFORE

He won the Tour de France 3 times, goot player

they should rather tune up their bikes with that hidden engine
do they have a tour de france section on netCoders?
naah, was his brother
ooh wait..
they're all on drugs anyway...
true, except Armstrong
Parent
tbh , don't think his 7 Tour spree was all clean
Parent
was joking, i don't know what to believe actually about him, hope that he hasn't use any shit but have u heard of the statement of Floyd Landis about his time at the US postal?
Parent
ye I've posted a journal about that too few months ago :P

he blamed bruyneel and amstrong, said they were the ones who told him how and when to use it etc :p
Parent
but most importantly; he said that the whole US postal was using epo! ( so including Armstrong!)

Edit: you said actually the same after reading your comment again:D
Parent
he was just blaming them to see them getting in troubles because he got busted I guess :P
Parent
ye think (and hope:P) the same!
Parent
If you nerds know any of this steroids then you is know no clean man is can beat man with doping(who also spend as much time hehe :P).....10 people using roids would be more likely to produce the champion than 100.000 not using it...if all spend same time hehehe because of roid is awesome for people xD I do many roid
Parent
all on the sossa
Parent
as always spanish, we pown the world
what, that you fucked ur brother?

Parent
too bad u didnt see latest results. He's clean ;)
French rage in 3,2,1...
so funny :/ the last 10tours were almost all won by doped guys (if you think that Lance didn't use, then you're a retard)
bring it on
Parent
was his sister



o wait
Who fucking watches Cycling anyway? :D First off its fucking boring, secondly the one who wins is doped anyway and last but not least its a retarded sport. Seriously even a world championship of crocheting would be more intresting to watch.
well , you try riding a bike 5 hours a day at 40-70 km/h average

and second , it's not boring to watch
Parent
enjoy wearing a too tight suit and sitting on a bike for 4 enjoys to get that testicular cancer?

pretty fucking stupid, same as marathons...its just unhealthy, specially seeing the amount of drugs they use.
Parent
everybody has their interests. Cycling rules my friend
Parent
I can't take it serious as a professional sport anymore. Too many scandals and doping involved. And don't even try to bring up the Football scandals. ;P Either way you're right, everybody got their own intrests.
Parent
what do you mean don't bring up the football scandals?

the French team from 1998 also got something to do with doping http://www.worldcupblog.org/world-football/french-team-doctor-puts-98-squad-on-doping-book-tour.html
Parent
0,000000000000005 g in his body .... fail xD
other rides have 0g in their body
Parent
seriously

u arent trolling? he ate meat that had this banned substance, so the amount of it is really low. Result: No punishment, false positive. Stop saying senseless crap.
Parent
that substance is banned from being added to meat in european union. so where did he got that steak from, huh?
but it will prolly be a false positive. doesnt change the fact that you cant know yet, you can only guess.
Parent
No, no. I'm telling that cuz i know it, already published in spanish newspapers. The man who cooks team's food bought meat in "irun" (spanish city) and they even got the bill :D Innocent and proven.
Parent
españa is not in EU?
Parent
what the hell did u read in order to go and ask me this nonsense?
Parent
so that shop where he bought that meat should get a fine for banned practises, right?
Parent
this is true, only in case the shop did that in purpose(highly doubt it). Altho im not into lawyers stuff, dunno. The fact is, Contador is innocent.

also -> http://www.crossfire.nu/?x=journal&mode=item&id=112779#comment2496567
Parent
You're not a lawyer, but you do state his innocense as a fact?
How do we know he's innocent? They could've paid the guy selling the meat to mask their actual dope use? Either way, in a sport with this many rules consdering drugs it's pretty fucking stupid if you buy shit without knowing whats in the meat.
Parent
"that substance is banned from being added to meat in european union"

so if its banned, and espana is in EU, they are fucked now :DDDD

e: and i didnt know why i had to read your reply to Dreamweaver: it made no sens at all too -_- i was just joking with krosan and kb, what else did i say? :DDD

LOOOOL :DDDDD
Parent
he'll get banned. a belgian renner Belgium Keisse got banned for 2years for the same thing and he even proved that he didn't use anything =) gl alberto
Parent
BAN! I GO TALK TO KILLERBOY AND KROSAN!
Parent
read just above u, my reply to dreamweaver
Parent
innocent & proven? that means that the substance has to come from somewhere else ;-) or you're implying that the shop where he bought the meat got it into it?
Parent
yes, im not implying anything dude, im not policeman lol.

You can read it tomorrow, it's official, Contador ate some meat which contained that substance. Other spanish cyclists ate it too. More details will surely be revealed tomorrow :p
Parent
he was the only one who ate it AND got tested the day after
Parent
did i say the opposite? just said some spanish cyclist ate that meat. Didn't say anything about who got tested.
Parent
oh ok I misunderstood that ;)
Parent
old bronastym8
ROFL so many nerds jealous cuz Contador is styling on them. Clean :)))))))) already officially proven.
I don't particularly like Contador, but in this case I believe the allegations are false. It's a fact that clenbuterol is used to enhance animals for meat. The traces are insanely low, experts already stated that other samples earlier in the Tour would've been showing traces of clenbuterol too if he used it to dope.
This is just a completely desperate attempt to find anything in Contador's samples. It's like someone touching the wrong bill of money and then picking his nose. Analysing the nosehair could show minor traces of cocaine then. Would be insane to say that person is a drug addict.
lol Contador is a drug addict
Parent
about time!!
CONTADOR PISSED POSITIVE (only a small substance of clenbuterol though) AND HE BLAMES THE MEAT HE HAD EATEN A FEW DAYS BEFORE
