Doping expert levels charges against Contador
A leading German expert in the fight against doping claimed Monday to have
evidence indicating that Tour de France winner Alberto Contador had used
drugs.
Twenty-four hours after the Spaniard donned the winner's yellow jersey on
the Champs Élysées the expert, Werner Franke, described the 24-year-old's
victory as "the greatest swindle in sporting history." ..............
Franke claimed to have a detailed list of banned products used by Contador
which appear in sworn statements following the raid on Fuentes' medical
practice.
"He took insulin, HMG-Lepori, a hormone to stimulate the secretion of
testosterone and also a product for asthma called TGN - in brief I have
before my eyes a protocol for doping," he told ZDF.
"All of this has been covered up, at least in Spain," added Franke.
