The professional cyclist Alberto Contador who won the 2010 Tour de France tested positive for Clenbuterol. Quantities of this substance in his body were too small. They were 40 times less than its minimum standard of the detection ability. But the WADA lacks tolerance totally when it comes to this drug. Any amount of this preparation uncovered in a sportsperson’s body results in ban.
The Spanish cyclist Alberto contador claims that contaminated meat is responsible for his positive for Clenbuterol. Some experts believe himbecause the amount detected in his urine are extremely small. Neveretheless, the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contadorwas banned.
The anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team Douwe de Boer notes that he becomes disappointed in the WADA’s decision day by day. This specialist notices that he seems as if the WADA enjoyed to ban innocent sportspersons but not to detect cheaters.
The expert Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency assures that a person can test positive from contaminated meat. It is not just anyone’s point of view. This affirmation is scientifically proven. The expert Detlef Thieme from Germany supports this affirmation as well. He points out that nobody can doubt about it.
Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratoty for Doping Analysis at the German Sports University in Cologne says that it is an obvious problem that they do not have ability 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 medicine for athletic purposes.
National Anti-Doping Laboratory from China claims that experiments led by them have displayed that consumption of pork meat that contains Clenbuterol can cause positives for this substance.
Nevertheless, there are skeptic individuals that believe that Alberto Contador has taken controlled substances.
Skeptic attitude to Alberto Contadot may be explained by the condition that application of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other drugs which possess performance-enhancing effects is widespread in cycling. Floyd Landis and Bernhard Kohl, former cyclists that have been caught by the WADA, assure that all cyclists use performance-enhancing drugs. The chemist Patrick Arnold has the same point of view.
