The professional cyclist Alberto Contador who won the 2010 Tour de France tested positive for Clenbuterol. Quantities of this substance in his body were extremely small. They were 40 times less than its minimum standard of the detection ability. But the World Anti-Doping Agency lacks tolerance completely when it comes to this medicine. Any quantity of this medication uncovered in an athlete’s body leads to ban.
This cyclist proclaims that contaminated meat has to be blamed for his positive related to this substance. Some experts are inclined to believe him, since the quantity detected in his urine are very small. Nonetheless, the cyсlist Alberto Contadorreceived a ban.
The anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team Douwe de Boer announces that he becomes disappointed in the WADA’s decision day by day. This specialist notes that he seems as if the WADA were glad to ban innocent sportspeople but not to determine cheaters.
The expert Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency assures that an individual may test positive from contaminated meat. It is not just anyone’s point of view. This statement is scientifically proven. Detlef Thieme of the Institute of Doping Analysis and Sports Biochemistry in German supports this statement as well. He claims 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 a real problem that they are not capable to investigate and determine doping clearly.
According to anti-doping studies conducted in Cologne, it is easier to detect Clenbuterol from contaminated meat than from intentional intake of this drug for athletic needs.
National Anti-Doping Laboratory from China claims that experiments conducted by them have displayed that consumption of pork meat that contains Clenbuterol may cause positives for this substance.
But there are skeptic persons who suppose that the cyclist Alberto contador has administrated forbidden drugs.
Skeptic attitude to Alberto Contadot can be explained by the condition that intake of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other medications that cause performance-enhancing effects is widespread in cycling. Floyd Landis and Bernhard Kohl, former cyclists that have been caught by the WADA, confirm that all cyclists dope. Patrick Arnold, a chemist has the same point of view.
