There is “counter case.” The International Cycling Union (UCI) does not believe the version of last year’s Tour winner, who blamed his positive test to the intake of contaminated steak with clenbuterol (anabolic steroid use), and yesterday asked the Spanish federation to open disciplinary proceedings to Madrid. If enacted, it will lose the victory in the Tour 2010. In addition, continuity is at stake in this sport, since the same counter made clear his intention to leave cycling if he received punishment. “It would be intolerable to penalize me,” said just made public the presence of clenbuterol in a check carried out on 21 July, second rest day of the gala round.

“Alberto is not very lively,” said Juan Carlos Castano yesterday, president of the Federation. Now, the Competition Committee of the governing body render its award within a period from 30 days to three months. “Hopefully this is a clear resolution and the process will stop there,” he said. Auburn knows that if the Federation absolve Contador, the UCI and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) have recourse to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which has the final word. “Alberto says he has many tests to prove his innocence,” said Brown. “I hope that everything will be resolved in favor of Alberto.”

The International Cycling Union does not think so. Calls for a penalty. The tone of the UCI changed yesterday. On 24 August, got in touch with Contador. There were traces of clenbuterol in urine. And it is forbidden on the list of doping products between anabolic. In these cases, the penalty is usually two-year suspension. Counter is a fact in its favor: a low amount detected in their urine, 0.0000000005 grams per milliliter. However, the law does not speak of minimal, if any, is positive.

Therefore, the rider asked for a scientific study specialist who recommended the ICU itself, Douwe de Boer.

This biochemical considers

that a concentration of clenbuterol as “extremely low” may have originated in contaminated meat, as advocated Contador. The rider keeps his version: Paco Olalla, cook Astana for the Tour, asked a friend, José Luis López Cerron-former rider and organizer of the Tour of Castilla y Leon in Spain to bring him a good steak. Cerron, which was traveling to France, stopped in Irun and there he acquired the piece. Contador ate the night before the Tour rest day in Pau and at lunch following.

“I spent the days leading controls and there were no problems. And in the later analysis shows how decreases the concentration of clenbuterol, ‘said the broker. The UCI, as Contador, at first believed that version. Pinteño suspended in silence and kept secret until a German journalist revealed a positive in the laboratory in Cologne. From there, the UCI changed its position. The AMA, less complacent, stepped in and immediately recalled that the excuse of the contaminated meat had been rejected in previous cases.

On 29 September, the “abnormal value” in the doping test rebounded on news agencies. One day later, in Pinto, the cyclist was placed before the press to proclaim his innocence. In later days appeared in several television in defense of their arguments. He announced his intention to withdraw completely from the bike if I got a penalty. Yesterday, the UCI closed the noose on counter and requested the opening of disciplinary proceedings. The case is now in the hands of the Federal agency to which the UCI considers tolerant of doping.
