Ross Tucker · 30 Sep 2010 ·

By now, most of you will have heard the news that greeted me as I woke this morning, that multiple Grand Tour champion Alberto Contador has tested positive for Clenbuterol during this year’s Tour de France victory.  The reaction has been swift – Contador apparently heard of the result on the 24th of August, so […]

Back in June I was very fortunate to present two […]
