3 time Tour de France Champion Alberto Contador has been found guilty of doping and banned for 2 Years from professional cycling.
Alberto Contador failed a doping test, testing positive for clenbuterol, while winning the 2010 Tour de France 566 days ago and now his arbitration appeal has failed also.
The Spanish cyclist and national hero was stripped of his title Monday and banned for two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code.
There are no winners when it comes to the issue of doping but Luxembourg’s Andy Schleck is now in line to receive Contador’s 2010 Tour de France title.
The Netherlands world cup team returned home to a hero’s welcome on a boat parade. 600,000 Oranje fans lined the canals of Amsterdam and welcomed the second-place Champions as the Winners Holland truly are.
Clearly Holland is the best team to have never won the World Cup. Do some research on 1974 , 1978 and 2010. Unbelievably, heart breaking.
The Netherlands players first went to a private reception with the Dutch PM and Queen Beatrix in The Hague. There the coach [manager] Bert van Marwijk and team captain Giovanni van Bronckhorst were officially knighted.
Then they were helicoptered to Amsterdam where two thirds of a million Dutch people lined the canals to celebrate the Holland national team’s boat parade.
In loving memory – William Becks – Arnhem, Holland. Thanks for your loving Oranje fans. Thanks team for your world-class play. Thanks for your support.
Hold your head high, Winners. Be Strong. Walk in Confidence.
