Radiographic examinations which Alberto Contador has been subjected in the evening in the Hospital of Grosseto excluded limb injuries. Therefore, as transpires from the headquarters of Tinkoff-Saxo, Spanish runner tomorrow, May 15, is expected to start.
The medical bulletin issued recently by the organisation of the 98 or cycling tour of Italy States that "Contador was submitted to radiographic and echographic survey at the left shoulder, injured in the fall." "The clinical examination-say doctors-has a slight left knee instability compared to the contralateral side. The athlete blames a mild shoulder pain ". Daniele Colli, another runner embroiled in today's frightening fall, blames "a compound fracture of the left humerus, while Tac has excluded other injury fratturative or dependants of the internal organs in the abdomen and chest."

Ah i see. Yeah, that is the question but it seems as if there are nothing more to it then this. And as many already have adressed that if it is a great deal of pain involved then it is usually more factors involved then simply a dislocated shoulder.
On a side note: isnt it for occasions like this his wing man Jesus would do good? Nothing beats a good friend by your side on rougher days and he could hardly perform worse then Ivan.

You guys are hysterical. Dislocated shoulder is not a big deal. You pop it back in and its all good again. Bit of a discomfort but in no way does it affect a performance, will not prevent sleep, etc.

If I were you I'd bet the house on Contador then. Might even take out a loan for maximum leverage.

You mean a dislocated shoulder is a more professional dislocated shoulder because its on Contador and not on ordinary people? Hilarious. Perhaps that is why we laugh? Because we are like a thousand times less tougher then Contador and still can shrug it off. Of course, we didnt aim for the Giro but as he doesnt pedal with the shoulders (and seeing what he has achieved during his career) we could afford to be at least a little optimistic.
I know there is a mob around here wishing that he should pack up and leave even if he would hit his forehead on the kitchen lamp but where does this sadistic urge to always be wrong comes from? Haven't you learned nothing from how wrong you were before Vuelta?

What's not comparable is the effect it has on elite sportsmen having an elite 3 week competition with little respite where small edges determine victory or defeat and the effect it has on Joe Blow sitting in the office or riding a bike Sundays.
But yes, a dislocated shoulder is a dislocated shoulder

You obviously don't know me or what I have posted about on this forum in the past.
What I mean is that you with the same injury as AC, will not be as affected because your professional life (I'm assuming) isn't as physically demanding as his. That shouldn't be a very hard thing to grasp. Most individuals don't know what it takes to win a gt. It is VERY physically demanding.
I don't know what you mean by "wrong" before the Vuelta. I don't recall making any predictions or anything as to what he would achieve. Feel free to show me were I have.
I will say, for this Giro, I would like nothing more than to see him win. If he is able to press on and do so I'm all for that. If you check my post history I think you'll find I haven't been saying he should give up. I'm simply trying to point out some of the naive comments that have been posted recently regarding pro's and the injuries they sustain.
Re:
This is a valid point. But it is a far cry from at least continue on with the (perhaps little lesser) chance to win from the pack up and leave-brigade who basically said the same thing prior to La Vuelta. And that could perhaps been even more justified after that speedy recovery of his knee lining up against top notch riders.
