Three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador of Spain has announced he has tested positive for clenbuterol, a banned substance.
Contador won the Tour de France for a third time in July this year, beating Andy Schleck.
The failed test was carried on July 21 during a rest day in the Pyrenees. The following day Contador set up his tour victory by finishing in the same time as Schleck.
Contador's personal press officer said Contador had been a victim of food contamination.
"Alberto Contador is affected by a doping control at the last Tour de France on July 21, where it was found the substance clenbuterol," the translated message reads.
"From the time of the first communication from the UCI, August 24, Alberto Contador alleged food contamination as the only possible explanation of what happened and has been turned over to the cyclist authorities since then in the confidence that this very serious problem could be clarified, which now is public."
"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."
The International Cycling Union (UCI) announced that Contador had been provisionally suspended for testing positive to a banned substance.

Exactly.

These people just need to own up. Do they really think the public is that stupid? By denying it they are only making themselves look like the ra-tards. I wish more athletes owned up to the situation like Andy Petite and others. Just say, I fucked up. I'm sorry. Its very simple.
