Contador was ridin' dirty

Hey-O!

 

Although I think Contador is a piece of shit, I don't say fuck him in this instance just because it's him. I say it because he comes up with a lame ass excuse, and a lot of folks are saying "oh, it's plausible." But many of the same people want to hang Lance even when he tests clean.

Has he been seen with Lady GaGa?

Pretty good AP story. Nobody saw nuthin'

From the NY Times/Cyclingnews:

Alberto Contador returned a positive test for the so-called “plasticisers” in his urine the day before his positive control for Clenbuterol, according to the New York Times. The newspaper also says that the results could indicate that he had had a blood transfusion, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Hilarious! But probably true.

 

The plasticizer thing is fascinating. Busted by the IV bag!

Also, the NYT reports that he was found to have EIGHT times the minimum amount of plasticizer that would indicate doping.

 

Year ban?

He said earlier that if punished he'd retire.

Bu-bye!

Andy Schleck woulda won if Contador hadn't attacked when his chain slipped.

 

Floyd, move over.
