He did say that first he'll consult with WADA, but both organizations will have a lot to explain if they take it to CAS. For instance, both A & B samples were known to be positive at the end of August (finally), so why did the UCI impose a gag order on Contador so he couldn't even tell his parents or future manager. Why did they tell him it was a clear case of contamination, giving him a false sense of security as they kept extending their deadline and amassing 600 pages of scientific documents, and why risk a conflict of interest by telling him which expert to consult for his defense when he asked? What was their intention if the lab hadn't leaked information to a German reporter? Why did they only send ten samples to the Cologne Lab out of all the ones taken at the Tour, and were at least six of the ten Contador's (they had six straight days of Clenbuterol readings - 0, 0, 50, 20, 0, 0). They had an agreement with Lausanne to get results back within 72 hours - how did they allow tests on the winner to take more than a month for results? Is it true that up to 200 Picograms, it's up to the lab if they report it or not? Why did they not make arrangements to store anyone else's samples from the Tour for longer than three months? The AFLD still had samples from the 2000 & 2001 Tours, but the ones from 2010 have been disposed of already? The Cologne Lab had alleged leaks to the German reporter, and the New York Times, and one other publication I don't recall. There was talk of plasticizers even though there isn't an approved test. WADA is aware that Clenbuterol exists in foods and contaminated supplements, but still insist on a two year ban for any amount whatsoever, even way below their testing threshold? In the El Pais article about the recently leaked WADA study, it said that Spanish farmers stop using Clenbuterol twenty days before slaughter so it won't show up in tests at the slaughterhouse. I never trusted that that came from the report, but if it did, it's an admission that Spanish farmers have a protocol for Clenbuterol use.
I figure the Spanish Federation will find Contador innocent, which should let him race while WADA appeals. Both WADA and the UCI are on power trips, so I wouldn't mind watching the sideshow. But I'd love to never have to read a quote from McQuaid ever again.
