Tour de France champion Alberto Contador has reportedly tested positive for a banned substance, according to multiple reports.
The three-time champion reportedly tested positive on July 21, just days before he won the 2010 title. He has blamed contaminated food.
If true, he would be the second rider to win the race and later be found to have failed a drug test. Floyd Landis did so in 2006.

Man I hate it when my food gets contaminated with clenbuterol. Makes everything so bitter. For some reason I eat it faster, though.

Is there any reason they do not test racers days, weeks, months before the event? Maybe they should have doper and clean title.

Much of the doping is done to improve recovery between the stages. They need to do it during the days of the race.

So, this is the new rule? Run the race, and THEN announce the drug test results?
