The professional 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 WADA doesn’t have any tolerance when it comes to this drug. Any amount of this substance 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. A lot of experts are inclined to believe himbecause the quantity uncovered in his urine are too small. Neveretheless, the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contadorwas banned.
The anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team Douwe de Boer proclaims that he becomes disappointed in the WADA’s decision day by day. He mentions that he seems as if the WADA enjoyed to ban innocent sportspersons but not to detect cheaters.
Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency notices that an individual may test positive from contaminated meat. It is not just saying. This affirmation has scientific basis. Detlef Thieme of the Institute of Doping Analysis and Sports Biochemistry in German supports this statement as well. He says that nobody can doubt about it.
Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratoty for Doping Analysis at the German Sports University in Cologne notes that it is an evident problem that they do not have ability to investigate and determine doping clearly.
According to anti-doping studies led in Cologne, it is more likely to detect Clenbuterol from contaminated meat than from intentional application of this medication for athletic purposes.
National Anti-Doping Laboratory from China announces that experiments led by them have shown that consumption of pork meat containing Clenbuterol may lead to positives for this substance.
But there are skeptic people who think that the cyclist Alberto contador has administrated forbidden preparations.
Skeptic attitude to the cyclist Alberto Contador may be explained by the condition that intake of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other medications which have 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. Patrick Arnold, a chemist has the same opinion.
