    Not surprised tbh as there have been rumours about him for years
    Key point is that he was found with 1/400 of the amount of the substance in his blood that is the minimum amount to be detected by all but 4 labs, so I'm really hoping that it really is just an absolute trace amount and he gets cleared.

    Hmm, would have to disagree strongly with that. I find it really hard to believe that Team Sky at least would have a doping programme.

    It's pretty easy to micro dose with EPO and get away with it, so long as you drink a litre of water straight away.

    Sounds like he was unlucky rather than actually innocent then.

    Obv denied it, but they always do, don't they?

    Alberto Contador suspended for one year

    Another black eye for the sport

    It's not over yet. Contador will almost certainly appeal to CAS now.

    Outrageous stuff from Petacchi in the sprint today, knew he couldn't beat Cavo so he pulled off some really poor moves in the final sprint.
