Article - The true heir to Lance emerges: Schleck true 2010 TDF Winner
------------------------------
Thread revival
Edited portion for recent news of Andy Schleck being true 2010 winner in light of Contador Cheating and stripped of 2010 TDF title.
I am really glad this happened because I knew all along that Contador was a bad character. Ever since he attacked Andy because of a chain problem, you could really see the guy had no honor. And look at Alberto Now! It all makes sense. You attack on a technical problem, you probably do illegal stuff to win too. Lance never attacked on a technical problem against a major adversary. The guy waited for Ulrich!
All hail 2010 winner Schleck! All hail future TDF winner Menchov!
Below is what I wrote years ago. It's great to see that everything is starting to be put in their proper place. Notice how I said that cycling should have done the right thing...well they finally did. Good For the sport!
-------------------------------
Lance was never founded to test positive for a banned substance during his career, and his famous 7 year reign as TDF champion.
However his heir apparent, Alberto Contador, tested positive for clenbuterol on a rest-day control a day ahead of the decisive Tourmalet climbing stage en route to his narrow, hard-fought third Tour victory just ahead of Andy Schleck.
It is quite sad to see the Tour headed in this direction. Contador is an obvious cheat and should be banned. Pro Cycling does not want an obvious cheating champion if they want fans to believe they are firm in their conviction to clean the sport. To allow Contador to remain champion and continue to race is equivalent to spitting on the Maillot Jaune.
The excuse for Contador of clenbuterol being present is he ate beef, but clenbuterol hasn't been used for processing beef in years.
Now we come to what this article is really about.
The bright news is that if the TDF does the right thing, and bans Contador and strips him of his title, the true Champion, Schleck will emerge, and he will be poised to dominate the tour. Schleck is a charismatic kid that everyone in the tour respects. He has not acted like a spoiled child like Contador, and more importantly he never has been tested positive for a banned substance.
Fans of the sport who desire a clean race welcome Schleck as the true 2010 TDF champion, and the true heir to Lance.
