True. Contador never bought his way out of a failed test. He just offered the lamest of lame excuses.
He also had a national anti-doping federation that winked at the test and accepted his excuse. Of course, "Spanish anti-doping federation" is one of the biggest oxymorons in all of sport.
Too bad he couldn't get a backdated 'script for clenbuterol, though, or he'd have been able to keep his 2010-2011 results.
