Since it is said that all cyclists dope, some persons do not believe that Alberto Contador’s positive for Clenbuterol is because of contaminated meat

The cyclist Alberto Contador who won the 2010 Tour de France tested positive for Clenbuterol. Quantities of this substance in his body were very small. They were 40 times less than its minimum standard of the detection capacity. But the World Anti-Doping Agency is not tolerable at all when it comes to this product. Any quantity of this drug detected in an athlete’s body leads to ban.
Alberto Contador confirms that the positive for Clenbuterol is caused by meat contaminated with this substance. A lot of experts are inclined to believe himbecause the amount detected in his urine are very small.   Neveretheless, Alberto Contadorreceived a ban.
The anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team Douwe de Boer says that he becomes disappointed in decisions of the WADA day by day. This specialist mentions that it seems as if the WADA enjoyed to ban innocent athletes but not to determine cheaters.
Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency claims that an individual can test positive from contaminated meat. It isn’t just anyone’s point of view. This statement has scientific basis. Detlef Thieme of the Institute of Doping Analysis and Sports Biochemistry in German supports this statement too.  He points out that nobody can doubt about it.
Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratoty for Doping Analysis at the German Sports University in Cologne assures that it is an evident problem that they do not have capacity to investigate and detect doping clearly.
According to anti-doping studies led in Cologne, it is easier to detect Clenbuterol from contaminated meat than from intentional administration of this substance for athletic needs.
China’s National Anti-Doping Laboratory informs that experiments conducted by them have displayed that consumption of pork meat containing Clenbuterol may cause positives for this substance.
Nevertheless, there are skeptic individuals who believe that Alberto Contador has used controlled substances.
Skeptic attitude to Alberto Contadot can be explained by the aspect that application of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other medications that possess performance-enhancing effects is widespread in cycling. The former cyclists Floyd Landis and Bernhard Kohl that have been caught by the WADA assure that all cyclists dope. The chemist Patrick Arnold has the same opinion.
