VO2max Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Contador used drugs - expert30/07/2007 15:11 - (SA) Berlin - A leading German expert in the fight against doping claimed on Monday to have evidence indicating that Tour de France winner Alberto Contador had used drugs. Twenty four hours after the Spaniard donned the winner's yellow jersey on the Champs Elysees the expert, Werner Franke, described the 24-year-old's victory as "the greatest swindle in sporting history". Franke bases his claim on documents he says are in his possession from the Spanish police's Operation Puerto inquiry into Eufemiano Fuentes, the doctor said to have masterminded doping programmes for athletes. "The name of this Mr Contador appears on several occasions on the court and police documents," Franke told German television station ZDF. "All of this has been simply concealed and hidden under the carpet whilst the name Contador was erased from the list of supicious riders," added Franke. He says he has a detailed list of banned products used by Contador which appear in sworn statements following the raid on Fuentes' medical practise. "He took insulin, HMG-Lepori, a hormone to stimulate the secretion of testosterone and also a product for asthma called TGN - in brief I have before my eyes a protocol for doping," he told ZDF. "All of this has been covered up, at least in Spain," added Franke. Contador, who inherited the lead in the tour de France last week on Michael Rasmussen's expulsion in a row over missed random drug tests, denied he'd had any links with Fuentes' drugs programme. Speaking after Saturday's penultimate time-trial in Angouleme about why his name had been linked to Fuentes he told reporters: "I was in the wrong team at the wrong time and somehow my name got among the documents, but the UCI corrected the mistake and now I've got no link to Puerto."

10Two Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Yawn - the stupid south effriken newspapers are like 10 years behind on news coverage with all rubbish "facts". Surely - if he was bust for doping as the article headline implies - we would have heard about it...

gianni Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 He wasn't bust, it was covered up just like the others. Don't forget he is Spanish.... Jorg Jaksche, the dude who recently admitted he was the JJ on Fuentes list goes as far as saying it's a probable assumtpion that the A.C on the list is Alberto Contador. p.s it's not old news, it actually came out today on cyclingnews.com
ORCA Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 USED DRUGS vs NOT TESTING POSITIVE, een mrse groot verskil

gianni Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 the differenced being there are sworn statements with a list of thinsg, with regards to Contador
ORCA Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Does someone whom never received a speed fine, always drove within the speed limit? maybe a bit of the topic but you get my comparison
Poison Ivy Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 the differenced being there are sworn statements with a list of thinsg' date=' with regards to Contador[/quote'] its very easy to take a bag of blood and a lable sticker and write "AC" on it - same goes for sworn statements.... I think too many carees have been ruined with such BS allegations... I just don't fall for it.
domenic Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 the differenced being there are sworn statements with a list of thinsg' date=' with regards to Contador[/quote']This is what Dr. Franke is reported as saying, but unfortunately he is not showing the evidence, and no one else has been able to find anything more than the initials A.C.
gianni Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 ok :-)So Jakshe's comments are what ? A cyclist who got caught trying to get another one into trouble ? let the fairytale continue then..
ORCA Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Seeing that the good Dr Fuentes is a gynecologist, maybe the ?AC? is for his sister ? ALICIA CONTADOR <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Alberto, son of Francisco and Francisca, is the third of four brothers (Francisco Javier, Alicia, Alberto and Ra?l).
HomerSimpson Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Interestingly, on Cyclingnews.com Franke is decribed as "a leading German anti-doping crusader" NOT and anti-doping "expert". Puts a different perspective to it. Second, he went to the German TV ZDF making these statements. Why? He stated that the "documents" incriminating Contador "turned up in his briefcase" and that he turned them over to the German Police. So if there is a case to be investigated, why not wait for charges to be laid against Contador? Why rush of to the TV? Because he is simply looking for publicity in the anti-doping forum? This smacks of muck-raking journalism to me. Of course, I might be wrong, and Contador might turn out to be a doper, but has really become difficult to separate the crap from the truth in these matters. HomerSimpson2007-07-31 07:51:34
