Certain experts recognize that they do not have yet capacity to identify doping clearly

The professional cyclist Alberto Contador who won the 2010 Tour de France tested positive for Clenbuterol. Amounts of this substance in his body were too small. They were 40 times less than its minimum standard of the detection ability. But the World Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t have any tolerance when it comes to this product. Any quantity of this medication detected in a sportsperson’s body causes ban.
The cyclist Alberto Contador claims that contaminated meat is responsible for his positive for Clenbuterol. Many experts are inclined to believe him, since the quantity uncovered in his urine are very small. Neveretheless, the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contadorwas banned.
The anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team Douwe de Boer proclaims that he becomes disappointed in decisions of the WADA day by day. He mentions that it seems as if the WADA were happy to ban innocent sportspersons but not to determine cheaters.
The expert Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency confirms that an individual can test positive from contaminated meat. It isn’t just anyone’s opinion. This affirmation has scientific basis. The expert Detlef Thieme from Germany supports this affirmation as well. He reports that nobody may doubt about it.
The expert Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratory for Doping Analysis from Germany says that it is an obvious problem that they are not able to investigate and determine doping clearly.
According to anti-doping researches conducted in Cologne, it is easier to detect Clenbuterol from contaminated meat than from intentional administration of this medication for athletic needs.
National Anti-Doping Laboratory from China announces that experiments led by them have displayed that consumption of pork meat containing Clenbuterol may lead to positives for this substance.
Nonetheless, there are skeptic persons who assure that the Spanish cyclist Alberto Contador has taken banned preparations.
Skeptic attitude to the cyclist Alberto Contador can be explained by the factor that use of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other drugs that possess performance-enhancing effects is widespread in cycling. Floyd Landis and Bernhard Kohl, former cyclists that have been caught by the WADA, assure that all cyclists dope. Patrick Arnold, a chemist has the same opinion.
