Nadal, like almost all cyclists and pundits, are defending Contador aggressively.
It just shows how normal doping is for sport beneficiaries.
Should we not be ashamed to be sport fans?

In his post awards-ceremony interview Nole said stg interesting:
"We are working on the endurance, the flexibility, but that is all I can really say," he noted. "I don't want to reveal the secrets but in my eyes I don't believe a tennis player should be muscular.
"It is more important to be dynamic, explosive, flexible and to have the right endurance because all the movements we have on the court are from the first and second step - very important to have the anticipation and agility because that helps you in the short and the long run, relying on your endurance. I need to be fast and that is the way I am and it's working for now."
Anyone's thoughts?

Nadal's muscular work certainly works on the clay because he has time to slide in position and his top spin is more effective which is why he will probably be too strong even for Djok. I hope I am wrong Nitb.

There is a lot of innuendo on this subject. There is a slogan that I see around me which says 'See something say something'. This is a typical motto for a paranoid state. 'Be vigilant'.
If the same WADA/ITF tests which can catch Contador have yet to catch other Spaniards in Tennis, this desire to implicate others by association or sport is rather .

1 - It;s not the same tests. Cyclists are tested 10 times more than tennis players.
2 - What is really is the fact that a doper is perceived as a victim nowadays.....so much the system is rotten. And its also extremely sad to see other athletes like Nadal defending him as if he knew he was 100% innocent. This is like bullying the anti-doping system cause we know fans are desperate to see glory and heroes where cheating and cheaters are more likely.
This is why I have always said we (the fans) are primarily responsible for what's going on.

WADA covers many sports including Cycling and Tennis. Is it just the frequency of tests that are different. Cycling has a biological passport system that I am aware of.

Exactly! When you learn that the top tennis players have only one Out of competition test on average per year!!! when in cycling they have 10s....that's something really weird. But worse you know when this OOC test is done essentially? in October after the slams...when most would be cycling down (if they were doping of course).
And we also know that the UCI only gave away Contador cause a German journalist threaten to break the news, otherwise we may never have been told about it....so clearly very reminiscent of the way teh ATP/ITF protects his own athletes.
