He's not stating facts. Contador never said the meat came from the canary islands. All this news just shows people are wrong when they say it's impossible that farmers use Clen on their cattle in Spain. It's still happening in that crap country. And it should be no surprise in a country that has unemployment rates of over the 25% and that's still stuck in middle ages compared to some other European countries(as a matter of speech, Spain in the middle ages was actually very advanced, but that's besides the matter.).

It's also not possible that Elvis is still alive. But he is still spotted by people on a weekly basis.

No, but Spain never really was an industrialized country. Compare the farming figures from Spain with a country like England ;)

I'm not a fan of Contador because he's from Spain you know ;)

Don't like the country at all for that matter. Madrid has got to be one of the ugliest capitals I've seen in a while. Corduba and Grenada are nice places though. If you're ever going to Spain then I suggest you go there(which have beautiful Medieval buildings, gotta love irony).

I'm not saying Contador's story is true, I could care less about that. Just saying, it's not impossible like all you seem to be saying here. Even when the evidence is right under your nose you guys are still claiming it to be impossible that Spanish farmers use Clen or other forbidden products on their cattle.

A press release from the European Commision's directorate for health and consumer policy stated that Spain had tested more than 19000 samples in 2008 and 2009.

OK, so there you go. Sure looks like for those years their program was adequate to get a good handle on what was happening.

1. "All this news" is one story.

2. I don't think I've read any statements in this forum that it's "impossible". Just highly improbable. Remember that Clentador needs to prove his story was probable, not just possible.

3. So far, this one story is about doping horses. I don't remember reading that Clentador was eating horse steaks.

This is not the first thing I've heard about Clen in Spain. Thus "all this news" is correct.


Clentador just needs to point his finger to Di Luca.

That's the official site for crying out loud. One year ban, without results scrapped.
