It seems that Clenbuterol is everywhere - Cyclist tested positive

If you read the recent health news you came across the name CLENBUTEROL again this week. After this substance was so much used for burning calories it has now been linked to a cyclist that was competing for the Tour de France, and this guy actually won.

The case is still under review and the amount of clenbuterol that was found was a very very tiny one as the responsible lab admitted, however even the slightest trace of this chemical must lead to a thorough review and maybe even a suspension and stripped medal of the cyclist named Contador. In his statement he blamed a food contamination - imported beef from spain - for the test result. Lets see how that will hold up with the judges.
