I think far too much has been made of the whole armstrong contador situation.
Both of them are top level sportsmen and as a result very competitive, given that they were riding for the same team this is always going to cause tension.
When it came down to it, contador prooved himself to be stronger and armstrong didn't/couldn't attack him. When it came to the end of the race contador did his best to keep armstrong on the podium going up the mont ventoux. Neither one can really dislike the other that much or there would have been some sort of in fighting on the road, which there wasn't, in the ned both have ridden in the way that was best for the team
