Sorry man, I wasn’t that much into posting on forums about doping issues back then. Maybe ‘people like me’ weren’t either.
Contador got his titles stripped and served his ban.
Double the amount of salbutamol allowed vs an almost intracable amount of clenbuterol is something to think about too, now you’re bringing it up.

One is a banned substance, where even a nanogram is considered a positive, the other is a controlled substance which means it can be used up to a threshold level. That's a major difference.

Froome’s ride got compared to Landis. As I was watching it unfold I was thinking about Contador’s race-winning attack in the Vuelta a few years back. And after I can’t help think if Contador has done it everyone would be purring.
Instead they raise the ghost of Landis. A rider with potential but at the time barely more than a domestique. He cracked the day before, lost time, dosed up and ride over 8 cols solo against the combined wrath of a doped peloton.
So a shite comparison to Froome. Winner on the Zoncolan, strong in the ITT, still in fourth and the leader of the race riding beyond himself.

Only because people like you are going "he didn't do this thing, it's a PR disaster", when you're not asking the same of other cyclists.
Were you asking to see Contador's data during the whole 'dodgy steak' era? And let's be fair, testing positive for clenbuterol is significantly worse than having too much asthma inhaler in your blood.
