Contador Cites Tainted Meat Case as Defense in Tour de France Dope Inquiry
Tour de France champion
Alberto Contador is using the case of a table tennis player in his defense against doping, his lawyer Andy Ramos said.
...
Contador’s legal team will today hand over written arguments to a Spanish cycling federation panel investigating the case, his spokesman Jacinto Vidarte said. Ramos said in an interview the defense is partly based on the case of Dimitrij Ovtcharov, who was cleared by the German table tennis federation on Oct. 14 after arguing his positive test for clenbuterol was down to eating tainted meat in China.
The Ukraine-born German had tested positive for an “extremely low” concentration of 75 picograms per milliliter, according to the German federation. Contador’s reading was 50 picograms, according to the UCI. Both tests were done at the same laboratory in Cologne, Germany.
