LAGUNA HILLS, CA (BRAIN)—From Tour de France champion Alberto Contador's point of view, enough is enough when it comes to allegations of doping.
Contador has denied these allegations, saying the positive result came from eating a contaminated steak.
“The legal team of Alberto Contador will take legal actions against defamatory information published so far by various media and Web sites, due to their absolute lack of veracity; additionally, they will proceed in the same way with any defamatory information that will be published in the future,” a statement read.
“Alberto Contador radically denies the veracity of the information published by some media and reaffirms his innocence, as proved by all scientific reports provided to the UCI that were made available to the public, and as confirmed by his biological passport.
“Alberto Contador reiterates that the clenbuterol found in the analysis of the last Tour de France was solely caused by food contamination and in no case has resorted to an autologous or any other method of doping.
“Finally, the rider asks the sport authorities and especially the ICU, to provide a quick resolution of this case, as this is the best way to end the speculations and the publication of false and defamatory news about his person."
