Well if this turns out to be true hold on to your hats the sh!t storm is going to blot out the sun. Not good for international cycling or the TDF. I can already see the excuses coming out - an opposition team slipped it into my food.

Although in his defense I see it was a seriously small amount detected:

The concentration found by the laboratory was estimated at 50 picograms (or 0,000 000 000 05 grams per ml) which is 400 time less than what the antidoping laboratories accredited by WADA must be able to detect.”

“In view of this very small concentration and in consultation with WADA, the UCI immediately had the proper results management proceedings conducted including the analysis of B sample that confirmed the first result. The rider, who had already put an end to his cycling season before the result was known, was nevertheless formally and provisionally suspended as is prescribed by the World Anti-Doping Code.

It seems like these labs could even find a brain in Julius Malema.

[Tumbleweed]

At least he's not screaming about some lab being in the wrong:

"Since then, he has placed himself in the hands of the cycling authorities with the confidence that this extremely serious problem that has now come to light can be resolved.

Okay, let's say he gets off this…will Lance fans be prepared to admit that their hero DID test positive at least once?

You have got more chance of them putting a man on the moon - hang on wait, thats been done.

Okay you have got more chance of South Africa winning the Rugby world cup, oh sorry, thats also been done.

Floyd Landis will dope before this happens, oh hell, also been done.

Would be interesting to see what the UCI does in this instance. See the below article ... .Lance tested positive for EPO in 1999 but the levels were below the allowed limit at the time - he got away with it.

I thought Lance Armstrong was the first man with cancer to cycle on the moon.

I always thought it was Michael Jackson - moon walk, but then his doctor was also bust for excessive use of drugs.

Alberto Contador underwent sport drug testing during many days of the 2010 Tour de France, including July 19, 20, 21, and 22. <LI>No Clenbuterol was detected in any of the tests prior to July 21. <LI>An extremely low trace concentration of Clenbuterol was found in the urine sample taken on July 21; the concentration found in the urine sample taken on July 22 was even lower. <LI>The half-life of Clenbuterol is 25-39 hours. <LI>These facts show that Clenbuterol was ingested after the urine testing on July 20 in an amount that could have never enhanced his performance. <LI>There are numerous documented cases of humans ingesting Clenbuterol accidentally by eating meat from animals that have been fed the substance to stimulate growth.

Probably because the testing was done to procedure.

Seems as he's been busted and he was on the same team as LA and there is no love lost it would seem a good opportunity for Contador to shed light on what he knows and provide proof.

And no merely being on the same team does not constitute proof.

[Trubie]

funny how the wheel turns

UCI say clenbuterol in Contador sample was 0.05ng/ml.
Amount in Fuyu Li's sample in March was 0.05 - 0.10. He is awaiting a 2yr ban
