Contador acquitted

[roundabout]

Ah, thank you for refreshing my memory.

Mentioning steaks is making me hungry again.

 

[Beech Mtn]

I dont think it represents justice of any kind. I would bet my house that he doped. But i view life through on own terms.

I think everyone is doping, and i strongly oppose the sport of scape goating, putting everyones sins on a got (in this case Alberto) and beating it out of the village for it to starve so that everyone else can claim clean cycling.

Also i think Contador is a better ambassador for the sport than Andrew.

So i hope he will be free to ride.

+1. I hope Pellizotti gets off for the same reason. Enough with TPTB choosing certain riders to sanction and certain riders to protect.

I hope AC does ride in Algarve. I wasn't looking forward to him sitting out races.

He hit the positive with 50picograms the next positives is the Clenbuterol leaving his system that's why the number is always descending in the next days... Did you read or take a look to the studies or something? You seem to be ignorant of the case...

I didn't even mention clenbuterol. I'm questioning the very foundation of his defense.

I wanna know what David Etxebarría, Li Fuyu, Pat McQuaid, and several others think of all this.
Can't wait for a good round of interviews in the coming days.

 

[Lanark]

I think that They wont go to CAS because Ovtcharov case... Ovtcharov case could make a precedent... If They didnt go after Ovtcharov why they would go after Contador?

Probably because the evidence in the Ovtcharov case (as far as I can tell) was far more convincing. In Contador's it's possible that contamination was the source of the clen, in Ovtcharov's case it was very likely. If they go to CAS it's because they think he didn't get the clen in his system through meat contamination, not appealing in Ovtcharovs case has little to do with that.

I am sure McQuack is as happy as a pig in crap. Chaingate 2.0 will be a much bigger draw than Schleck against ? .

 

[patricknd]

stupid joke i must say, hence the reaction.

stupid was your reaction to someone who clearly agreed with you. you know that if you can't get along with others you'll have to play by yourself, or with yourself, as the case may be.

I don't know. He'd have to be pretty delusional to think this farce will make the issue go away imo.

 

[la.margna]

Why always the comparison with the Ovtcharov case?

Fact is that Ovtcharov made a hair test. Something that Dopador could have done if he were clean, but he didn't do. Anybody with a brain - do the math.

And the most ridicolous thing is still that they cook different steaks for Dopador than for the rest of the team and do not event test it.

Dopador needs to be banned, because he is a cheater and doper, but not for the Clenbut here, I have to admit. It's similar to Floyd's testo case. Interestingly, how the right country/federation and friends in important positions can make a difference sometimes...

I will not be watching the Tour if Aldirto is there. Whatta joke.

what you need to figure out is that this is your 3d post in the thread that added zero to the discussion and still is concentrating on a poster reactions and the poster instead of his message. that's what i call useless if covered up by a stupid joke. you have hundreds of posts here to add substance yet, you chose, as expected to add zero. perhaps you're too ignorant to.

 

[Barrus]

But you would be watching it when Schlecklet and Brother Puerto were there without Contie?

Really cycling hasn't changed because of this decision. It is just another instance where a person is not or perhaps won't be banned even though there might be evidence that he did use doping

 

[Publicus]

So the story is that Contador ate meat three days in a row during the Tour de France (although he never talks about the third day - and no journalist brings it up). This challenges everything we knew about nutrition. Thank God Contador has never been caught lying, otherwise I'd doubt him despite this ruling.

I think the decreasing concentrations (with the exception of the strange rebound on the final day) is consistent with the natural decrease of clen as it is processed through the system. So ingested on one day and then it takes multiple days for it to clear the system.

 

[Hugh Januss]

I don't know. He'd have to be pretty delusional to think this farce will make the issue go away imo.

I think it is his only play left, after the test result was leaked before they could make it go away. To me it is clearly an accident as far as UCI is concerned that Contador is even in this position.

You'll be surprised.

It's really up to WADA now.

Again, I'm not talking about the clen here. I'm talking about a Tour contender eating steak three days in a row, and never mentioning the third time. The clen traces are consistent with both the contaminated steak and the transfusion theories, as far as I know. That's not the issue I was commenting on.

You mean 'transfused' one day then multiple days to leave the system. Fun with words.

 

[roundabout]

To be honest, i do see why a steak bought in France wouldn't be that important to the narrative.

Man it would be dead by now if you didn't keep having to get the last word in. You jumped to a conclusion, a couple peeps made jokes that pointed it out (ok one was me, I am not innocent in this ), but you don't have to go into attack mode every time you get embarrassed.
Patrick you too, your posts are funnier than pythons, but that is their only redeeming quality.

Where are you getting this notion that he had steak 3 days in a row?

I wrote what I meant. But if you want to use transfused for your mental purposes, be my guess.

if you haven't jumped yourself to add nothing to the discussion and instead of public ad hominems used pms and reports, this would not have continued. so stop you hypocritical posturing, and get back to the topic.

pro cycling is a just a flippin' joke...
