The Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador that 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 capacity. But the WADA doesn’t have any tolerance when it comes to this preparation. Any quantity of this substance uncovered in a sportsperson’s body results in ban.
This cyclist claims that contaminated meat is responsible for his positive for Clenbuterol. Many experts believe him, since the amount uncovered in his urine are very small. Nonetheless, the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contadorwas banned.
Douwe de Boer, anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team, says that he becomes disappointed in decisions of the WADA day by day. He mentions that he seems as if the WADA enjoyed to ban innocent sportspeople but not to determine cheaters.
The expert Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency confirms that a person can test positive from contaminated meat. It isn’t just anyone’s opinion. This statement is scientifically proven. The expert Detlef Thieme from Germany supports this affirmation too. He claims that nobody can doubt about it.
The expert Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratory for Doping Analysis from Germany notices that it is an obvious problem that they do not have ability to investigate and detect 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.
China’s National Anti-Doping Laboratory reports that experiments conducted by them have shown that consumption of pork meat that contains Clenbuterol may cause positives for this substance.
Nevertheless, there are skeptic people who assure that the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador has administrated forbidden drugs.
Skeptic attitude to the cyclist Alberto Contador can be explained by the condition that intake of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other medicines which possess performance-enhancing effects is widespread in cycling. The former cyclists Floyd Landis and Bernhard Kohl that have been caught by the WADA confirm that all cyclists take performance-enhancing product. The chemist Patrick Arnold has the same point of view.
