Several anti-doping experts are moved with indignation by certain decisions of the WADA

Alberto Contador, a Spanish professional cyclist, that won the 2010 Tour de France tested positive for Clenbuterol. Quantities of this substance in his body were too small. They were 40 times less than its minimum standard of the detection ability. But the WADA is completely intolerable when it comes to this preparation. Any quantity of this preparation uncovered in an athlete’s body causes ban.
Alberto Contador confirms that the positive for Clenbuterol is caused by meat contaminated with this substance. Many experts believe him, since the amount uncovered in his urine are extremely small.   Nonetheless, the cyсlist Alberto Contadorwas banned.
The anti-doping expert of Contador’s defense team Douwe de Boer says that he becomes disappointed in decisions of the WADA day by day. He notes that it seems as if the WADA were glad to ban innocent sportspersons but not to define cheaters.
Zhao Jian of China’s Anti-Doping Agency claims that an individual may test positive from contaminated meat. It is not just anyone’s point of view. This statement has scientific basis. The specialist Detlef Thieme of the Institute of Doping Analysis and Sports from Germany supports this affirmation too.  He proclaims that nobody may doubt about it.
Wilhelm Schaenzer of the Laboratoty for Doping Analysis at the German Sports University in Cologne says that it is an evident problem that they are not able to investigate and detect doping clearly.
According to anti-doping researches led in Cologne, it is easier to detect Clenbuterol from contaminated meat than from intentional use of this substance for performance-enhancing effects.
China’s National Anti-Doping Laboratory reports that experiments led by them have displayed that consumption of pork meat containing Clenbuterol can lead to positives for this substance.
In spite of these affirmations, there are skeptic people that think that Alberto Contador has used banned drugs.
Skeptic attitude to the professional cyclist Alberto Contador may be explained by the condition that usage of EPO, anabolic steroids, HGH and other medications that cause performance-enhancing effects is widespread in cycling. The former cyclists Floyd Landis and Bernhard Kohl that have been caught by the WADA claim that all cyclists forbidden medicines that have performance-enhancing effects. Patrick Arnold, a chemist has the same point of view.
