CN Reports Contador Twitters

Does Contador Twitter and, apart from his media interview where he expressed his opinion of Lance, have Contador and Lance continued their verbal battle via Twitter?

I ask because this was reported by CN: "The two riders traded insults via Twitter and had cycling fans in a twirl as each openly aired his true feelings."

Is this shoddy journalism or accurate reporting?

I was wondering the same thing when I read that today. Haven't heard/read a thing since the initial salvo and twittered responses for Armstrong...

I read that too and wondered the same thing...my thought is shoddy reporting by CN!! This is the type of thing that is really inexcusable...make both look like little girls, when in fact only one is a little girl. Wouldn't be the first time...maybe they will update the article when they see the mistake.

I don't think so, out of the two of them. ONE IS A GENTLEMAN

Twitter - what utter banal rubbish

Twitter is god's way of telling people they have much too much time on their hands and should try searching google for "a life"
