Cycling has been rocked by another drugs scandal as three-time Tour de France champion Alberto Contador tested positive for a banned stimulant and has been suspended from the sport.

Carlos, in all fairness, I think the article clarifies that it is a provisional suspension pending further investigation. Contador is a great champion and I hope he's cleared. This was an incredibly difficult Tour de France. Although his was one of the narrowest wins in cycling history, he and the whole Astana team worked very hard for him to win over Andy Schleck, another great athlete.,

Dear sirs - I was quite taken aback by the tone of your article- “Alberto Contador Suspended for Doping, Could Lose Tour de France Title” It is normally a good practice to make sure that one has the best information possible before posting an article that could destroy somebody else’s reputation. Alberto has not been SUSPENDED by DOPING. A positive result from CLEMBUTEROL was detected in her urine. An investigation has been launched to determine whether the consumption was accidental or intentional. As a biochemist, given the amount detected on his urine, I must say that it meets the criteria for accidental consumption (such substance has been found on the meat purchased by the team in Spain). You can check online sources for the report issued by Dr. Douwe De Boer (Top world expert on biochemical doping) – He supports the explanation that the consumption was accidental as indicates the test results from the meat analyzed. I am convinced that the ICU will come to the same conclusion.
