It seems Contador is another to add to the list of Le Tour cheats:

Could the tiny residual amount also be explained by the time elapsed since the roid was taken?If what has been reported is true, I could believe this was food poisoning or whatever. If they only found a tiny amount of the chemical in one of the thousands of test he has no doubt done then he might well be right.
Having said that, I don't think he is clean, or anyone else for that matter. But that may be a debate for another day.

If he isn't actually a drug cheat, this has been very poorly handled.
How about a hair sample then?Could the tiny residual amount also be explained by the time elapsed since the roid was taken?
I doubt if one was a serious steroid user it would only be a small amount as I'm lead to believe once you stop using them the results of all the drug taking disappear very quickly.
Also, I don't think if I was a professional cyclist steroids wouldn't be my performance enhancing substance of choice so this is all a bit fishy. Is it confirmed to be steroids?
They have team doctors, pediatricians everything with them. There is no excuse for taking something containing a banned substance really. This is the modern professional era we are in.
haha eeek sorry meant Dietitians. My son is sitting by me and he is autistic so I got mixed up. Thanks for the spot lolThey should also stop children riding professionally.
A few bad apples spoil the bunch but there is the honest ones as well. That is why we watch and take those sports seriously in the end.There is a very revealing and depressing BBC Audio Documentary "Secrets in the Blood" that mentions Contador. You will never take cycling and other endurance sports seriously again. You must listen to this.

The book "Positive" by World Champion and Australian Athlete of the Year(1995) Werner Reiterer reveals the inside story of drugs and Olympic sports. As a clean athlete his discus throws hovered around 63m every event he entered while his doped up rivals yo-yoed between 55m and 75m depending on the efficacy of the drug testing programs over time. He describes in detail the chemistry, the benefits, the procurement and the psychological effects of the hundreds of performance enhancing drugs involved. It is a cracking read that will leave you gobsmacked. Published by Pan Macmillan Aust. P/L. 2000.
