Please do not puruse that subject further. Thank you.

"The experts consulted so far have agreed also that this is a food contamination case, especially considering the number of tests passed by Alberto Contador during the Tour de France, making it possible to define precisely both the time the emergence of the substance as the tiny amount detected, ruling out any other source or intentionality."
Briant_Gumble said:I don't think it's the best excuse but it seems a new one.
In the sport if mixed martial arts George St. Pierre has long been accused of using steroids, growth hormone and other performance enhancing drugs.
In his last fight, for the first time in his career, he was subjected to rigorous random testing by an independent body (CIR testing, blood testing for growth hormone, testing throughout training camp), instead of the usual single post fight drug test for the panel of anabolic steroids.
During this one bout he showed a dramatic decrease in performance and muscle mass.
Today or very recently he did an interview where he claimed stress and anxiety killed his appetite and muscle mass as opposed to cycling off to pass the test and maintain his reputation to some.
