Article - The true heir to Lance emerges: Schleck rising as Contador tests positive

[El Imbatido]

A 1999 urine sample showed traces of corticosteroid in an amount that was not in the positive range. A medical certificate showed he used an approved cream for saddle sores which contained the substance.

Yes. You left some details out it seems.

Correct me if i'm wrong but......

A 2010 urine sample showed traces of clenbuterol in an amount that was not in the positive range. An astana team receipt showed he ate a contaminated steak which contained the substance.

Yes. You left out some details it seems.

Looks like the interns are back from their summer holidays

So Andy automatically gets heat for his brother's actions?

Exactly - "Bin ich denn der Hüter meines Bruders?"

 

[Christian]

. Schleck is a charismatic kid that everyone in the tour respects. He has not acted like a spoiled child like Contador

Well spoiled maybe not but he has acted like a child on various occasions which is part of his charme I would say

 

[Arnout]

Charismatic.

That gave me a good laugh, thank you.

 

[OneRaceWonder]

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.

Huge FAIL!

To be fair so did you.

There is no range for Clenbuterol, it shouldn't be there at all.

They are very close. It's not too far fetched to speculate.

livestrong is the most tested human being in the history of the galaxy and never tested positive to anything except large traces of VICTORY

I love this line, well said.

HAHA..it says all that right on the receipt, wow. Does that make the steak cost extra? "I'll have it medium well with a dash of clenbuterol seasoned in it" That order was overhead by fellow Astana people as well. I think we can correct you at this point. It seems Ultimobici already did about one issue.

 

[khardung la]

The LA fanboys are back after recovering from TdF or what? They will claim that Schleck is clean just because he is "the enemy" of Contador, who was the guy that buried LA??

All of them are dopers. Some of them are also egocentric and corrupt to the bones, enforcing an omerta. Some others are more pleasant guys. But at the end, all dopers.

 

[yourwelcome]

Unfortunately for Andy, he probably needs to be more of an ice-cool, clever, single-minded and meticulous a-hole to able to win 7 TdFs and not get caught doping. I like him as he is though.

In fact, almost silly not to.

Yer treading heavy on Flicka's franchise here.

wow, that reciept stated that it was a steak marinated in "the substance"? He really needs to be banned then if that's the case.

 

[Hugh Januss]

When this positive test is whitewashed and cleared away, will the Lance fanboys be as quick to forgive and forget as they were with the cortizone test result and the 6 epo positives?

 

[StyrbjornSterki]

Arguing with a Lance fanboy is like teaching a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

When proved wrong, the Lance fanboys always will change their stipulations so that their brags can circumvent some obvious truth or other. Witness the corticosteroid positive. Or that no clean rider could possibly beat 188 dopers over a three week stage race once, much less do it seven straight times. And when the fanboy has run out of stipulations that could exculpate their messiah, they just move to another cycling forum.

I wonder if Lance's cell-mates will show him so much deference?

 

[flicker]

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.

As much as I respect Contador as a champion, he alas is a drug cheat. If Astana had been banned from the tour it would have been a more cleaner and a fairer race. What the officials are thinkin letting Vino, DeLaFuente ,Navarro the complete Astana race team in the TdF race I have no idea. Known chargers and unfortunatley arbitrarily skewed the results of the tour.

Just bring on the Schleck duo, the Shack, plus the clean team Rabo, we will see some interesting racing.

Probably thought they had paid the uci the way uniballer had so it wouldn't be problem....

 

[flicker]

It kills me here that the haters of Armstrong were crowing about the "great" ASTANA TEAM. I see them folding in 2 months among doping controversy.

Troll Alert. C'mon gang, you know better than this.

Yep, this pattern on a forum's index page:

"Article - ..."
SilentAssassin

... has never been anything but worthless trolling sh!t. Pretty sure it never will be!

 

[El Imbatido]

I was just saying they they had a receipt for the steak.....not a receipt for steak with clen (how weird would that be....)

Anyway i was trying to be a smart arse to the op as i believe he is just trollin as all this stuff has been debated to death

 

[Bakunin]

Go ahead and add Contador as a witness to the Lance Armstrong case..that is before or after Contador writes his book titled: "I'm Innocciente I Tink."

One of the cool things out of this however is that I won't have to hear Contador's
Spanglish.

Not only dumb, but a racist as well.

With friends like you, LA doesn't need enemies...

Yes. You left out some details it seems.

Funny. Thing is, the clenbuterol isn't necessarily the smoking gun here. This is:

"A new test used for the first time at the Tour de France this year found traces of a specific type of chemical, called a plasticizer, that is found in plastic IV bags.

Alberto Contador's test found levels of that chemical eight times higher than the minimum amount that signifies doping, it added.

Evidence of that chemical in an athlete's urine could mean he or she has used a blood transfusion from a plastic IV bag to boost endurance."

The proof is just too overwhelming for AC unfortunately.
