Five Questions to Clear-up the Contador Clenbuterol Affair

As suggested by a correspondent:
  1. Where did the meat come from?
  2. Does the farmer regularly supply his stock with CB?
  3. Is it a common practice in Spain to dope your cattle with CB?
  4. Test several of his cows right now. Do they come positive for CB? If so, at what concentration?
  5. Is the level of CB found in AC’s urine consistent with the amount that would be found in a person who ingested N grams of beef from stock that may have had N % of first generation CB in the bloodstream?
By providing answers to these questions, Alberto Contador can do much to support his claims of having been victimized. I, for one, would very much like for him to prove his case and earn his exoneration.
