Contador vows to meet doping allegation head-on
Contador tested positive for clenbuterol on July 21 and has been provisionally suspended by the sport’s governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), although the Spaniard claims the positive result was caused by eating contaminated meat.
The UCI said in a statement that only a small amount of clenbuterol had been found in Contador’s urine sample during the test taken on the second rest day of the Tour de France and that further investigation was required.
