A lot of experts find it plausible that Alberto Contador has tested positive because of contaminated meat

The professional cyclist Alberto Contador that 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 ability. But the World Anti-Doping Agency is completely intolerable when it comes to Clenbuterol. Any quantity of this preparation detected in an athlete’s body results in ban.
This cyclist confirms that the positive for Clenbuterol is caused by meat contaminated with this substance. Numerous experts are inclined to believe him, since the amount detected in his urine are too small. Nonetheless, Alberto Contadorwas banned.
Douwe de Boer, anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team, announces that he becomes disappointed in the WADA’s decision day by day. He notices that it seems as if the WADA enjoyed to ban innocent athletes but not to define cheaters.
The expert Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency claims that an individual may test positive from contaminated meat. It is not just anyone’s point of view. This statement is scientifically proven. The expert Detlef Thieme from Germany supports this statement too. He says that nobody may doubt about it.
The expert Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratory for Doping Analysis from Germany assures that it is an obvious problem that they are not capable to investigate and define doping clearly.
According to anti-doping researches conducted in Cologne, it is more likely to detect Clenbuterol from contaminated meat than from intentional intake of this drug for athletic purposes.
China’s National Anti-Doping Laboratory claims that experiments conducted by them have displayed that consumption of pork meat that contains Clenbuterol can cause positives for this substance.
Nevertheless, there are skeptic people who suggest that the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador has used forbidden medications.
Skeptic attitude to the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador may be explained by the condition that application of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other products which cause performance-enhancing effects is widespread in cycling. Floyd Landis and Bernhard Kohl, former cyclists that have been caught by the WADA, proclaim that all cyclists dope. The chemist Patrick Arnold has the same point of view.
