Anti-doping agency find
no trace of clenbuterol in Basque Country butcher’s
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appears to have severely
undermined Alberto Contador’s insistence that he ate meat contaminated
with the clenbuterol that caused his positive test during the Tour de
France. In a report presented to the UCI and then passed on to the
Spanish cycling federation, WADA says that it has tested meat from the
butcher’s shop in Ir?n in northern Spain where Contador’s steak was
bought and found no traces of clenbuterol. Similar tests at the abattoir
that supplies the Ir?n butcher’s also found no trace of clenbuterol use.
