Samu stands by Contador


The jury is still out on Contador's positive for clenbuterol at the Tour, but one man who's unwavering in his belief that the three-time Tour victor is clean is compatriot Samu Sánchez. Speaking at a press conference in Cancún, Mexico, where he'll compete in a 110km crit on Saturday, the Olympic champ, ever the diplomat, said: "I trust Contador 100%. I hope the outcome is positive. Aside from being a friend he's also a colleague, and I hope we'll get a quick resolution to all this."

"i hope the outcome is positive..."

perhaps something is lost in the translation to english, or i am missing some otherwise subtle nuance of what is being said-
but to me it sounds as if Samu is wishing for a positive outcome of Contador's tests.

i wish he would speak of this matter even less than Contador. let the process take place and the decisions be made. THEN speak very clearly and in no uncertain terms.

*sigh*

Sorry, my bad on the translation there. What he's hoping for is a positive outcome FOR Contador, alas being declared innocent.

Agree with you. Ideally he should refrain to comment...
