Tour de france


A urine sample taken from three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador showed abnormally high levels of plastic residues that could indicate he received a transfusion of his own blood during this year's race, a person with knowledge of the test results told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

NEW YORK - The New York Times is reporting that Alberto Contador had eight times the allowable amount of a chemical which indicates doping in his system during this year's Tour de France, which he won for the third time.

NEW DELHI - World Anti-Doping Agency director-general David Howman says Tour de France champion Alberto Contador's positive doping test should not be taken any less seriously because only trace amounts were found.

PARIS - For Lance Armstrong, it became a tradition.

MADRID - Three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador denies that his positive test for a banned drug stems from blood doping rather than contaminated steak, his spokesman said Friday.
