Bambi and the Spanish Steak

[peterbryson]

So Contador is in the hunters sights, interesting he is blaming a Spanish steak on the second rest day.

He will probably survive this because of the very low levels found in his system. It will be interesting to see how quick he is on the hills next year. Lance must be laughing hard on the beach.

Being a big fan of Bambi in the summer I don't have a lot of sympathy, more sad, however is the impact on the credability of the top names in the sport. if he does go down for this, it seems a very silly way to blow it all.

to add woes to our sport, rumours about mosquera testing positive - in a test during the Vuelta have started doing the rounds.

Perhaps the saddest thing to come out of this debacle is that from the beginning of the EPO era (early '90s), there has been only one Tour winner you could dispute to be a clean rider, and that was Sastre in 2008 (and our friend Ricco did his best to ruin that Tour).
And giving the Tour to Schleck (which will most likely happen if Contador's suspension goes through) will also be a travesty. Wasn't it his brother Frank that paid Dr Fuentes £5,000 for "training advice" a few years back?
Also, Lemond came out with a cracker today: saying he was surprised a 'professional' like Contador would test positive for a drug he knew was banned; and that he "couldn't believe how many people have left a certain team to go on and test positive." He wouldn't be talking about Lance's teams would he?

Mosquera - I would have been more surprised if he hadn't tested positive.

Contadors ruined himself and his reputation, and now dad has to take down the poster of Contador in his work ;D
And also Riccardo Ricco was found to have over 50 suspicious tablets in his house...more trouble to ruin our sport.
