Alberto Contador is banned, however amounts of Clenbuterol detected in him are extremely small

The Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador who won the 2010 Tour de France tested positive for Clenbuterol. Amounts of this substance in his body were very small. They were 40 times less than its minimum standard of the detection ability. But the WADA lacks tolerance totally when it comes to this drug. Any amount of this drug uncovered in a sportsperson’s body results in ban.
The cyclist Alberto Contador proclaims that contaminated meat is responsible for his positive for Clenbuterol. Some specialists are inclined to believe himbecause the amount detected in his urine are too small. Nonetheless, this Spanish cyclistreceived a ban.
Douwe de Boer, anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team, points out that he becomes disappointed in decisions of the WADA day by day. This expert notices that it seems as if the WADA were glad to ban innocent sportspeople but not to define 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 opinion. This statement has scientific basis. The expert Detlef Thieme from Germany supports this affirmation too. He claims that nobody may doubt about it.
The expert Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratory for Doping Analysis from Germany says that it is an evident problem that they do not have ability to investigate and determine doping clearly.
According to anti-doping researches led in Cologne, it is easier to detect Clenbuterol from contaminated meat than from intentional intake of this substance for performance-enhancing effects.
China’s National Anti-Doping Laboratory reports that experiments conducted by them have displayed that consumption of pork meat that contains Clenbuterol can lead to positives for this substance.
Nonetheless, there are skeptic people who think that Alberto Contador has administrated forbidden medications.
Skeptic attitude to the professional cyclist Alberto Contador may be explained by the factor that usage 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 proclaim that all cyclists take performance-enhancing product. Patrick Arnold, a chemist has the same opinion.
