The Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador who won the 2010 Tour de France tested positive for Clenbuterol. Amounts of this substance in his body were too small. They were 40 times less than its minimum standard of the detection capacity. But the World Anti-Doping Agency is not tolerable at all when it comes to this preparation. Any amount of this medicine detected in a sportsperson’s body results in ban.
Alberto Contador claims that the positive for Clenbuterol is caused by meat contaminated with this substance. Many experts are inclined to believe himbecause the quantity detected in his urine are too small. Nonetheless, Alberto Contadorwas banned.
The anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team Douwe de Boer points out that he becomes disappointed in decisions of the WADA day by day. This specialist notices that he seems as if the WADA enjoyed to ban innocent sportspeople but not to determine cheaters.
Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency proclaims that an individual can test positive from contaminated meat. It isn’t just saying. This statement is scientifically proven. The expert Detlef Thieme from Germany supports this affirmation too. He reports that nobody can doubt about it.
The expert Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratory for Doping Analysis from Germany notices that it is an evident problem that they are not capable to investigate and define doping clearly.
According to anti-doping studies led in Cologne, it is easier to detect Clenbuterol from contaminated meat than from intentional use of this substance for athletic purposes.
National Anti-Doping Laboratory from China announces that experiments conducted by them have displayed that consumption of pork meat containing Clenbuterol may cause positives for this substance.
Nevertheless, there are skeptic individuals that suggest that the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador has taken banned drugs.
Skeptic attitude to the professional cyclist Alberto Contador can be explained by the factor that usage of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other preparations that have performance-enhancing effects is widespread in cycling. The former cyclists Floyd Landis and Bernhard Kohl that have been caught by the WADA claim that all cyclists take performance-enhancing product. Patrick Arnold, a chemist has the same point of view.
