Alberto Contador has been suspended for one year, by a decision of the Spanish cycling federation (RFEC), because he failed his doping test in last year’s race. Contador was threatened to end his career, has 10 days to appeal the preliminary decision before it becomes final. Since August, Contador is provisionally suspended because of his positive test for the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol, whether RFEC will strip his title still needs to be decided. Contador denies deliberate wrongdoing, saying he ate contaminated meat. Although, if he accepts the RFEC’s decision, the UCI, cycling’s world governing body, and the World Anti-Dpoing Agency (WADA) could still challenge this decision.
If his meat really was contaminated then it would be very sad for Contador. And that will mean that he is poisoned by someone, which will makes it even more horrific. Someone wants to deliberately ban Contador, of course he has many competitors, but is really wrong even in top sport. For Contador it’s very sad that he probably will be banned and evens more, lose his title. If Contador took the banned drugs himself then he should be very happy with his punishment, because in my opinion this punishment is pretty generous for doping. When you take doping you should be banned for lifetime, because it’s outrageous that you do that on this level.
I must say I can not agree with the statement Contador should be sentenced for a lifetime exlusion. He did not harm anyone with doing this but himself. As a hobbyist I can say the pressure on racers to achieve in this business is very hard. If the racers has come to his mistakes, he should get a second chance.
