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 Irún in northern Spain where Contador’s steak was bought and found no traces of clenbuterol. Similar tests at the abattoir that supplies the Irún butcher’s also found no trace of clenbuterol use.

:rolleyes:

I don't think that report will have any influence though. It is not unusual for farmers to buy and sell cattle from each other at various stages of maturity.
So it is possible that just one spurious purchase along the way caused the contamination.

they obviously didnt ask for the " good meat"

"Our cook asked him to get some good meat, which he did. So when this person came to the Tour on July 20, he brought some meat, which he had bought in Spain."
