First of all, we don't now if A.C. has missed any tests and gotten any written or recorded warnings, since that is confidential information. Second, his dismissal from the Purto case smells badly. The Puerto files has evidently been purged for evidence against Contador and a couple of other riders, among these Luis Leon Sanchez, whose father just happens to be a leading Guardia civil police officer, who was assigned to the Puerto case. Not all references to A.C. have been removed though, one of the more damaging pile of papers are from "document 31", a bunch papers implicating Liberty riders from their 2005 team. On the doping note labeled A.C., someone has written; "Must not be given to UCI".
The hand writing is of course interesting. It explains why the UCI never got "document 31" (perhaps better translated to "casemap 31" since it contains more than one document), and therefore why the UCI cleared Contador.
The index shows that the following documents (casemaps) relates to Liberty-Seguros riders. The casemaps marked MISSING is because Guardia Civil suddenly and without reason appears to have lost the name connections to the dopingplans in the casemaps, though the name references did exist at one time. Sometimes it appears that entire files have been removed:
dokument 8 - Angle Vicioso
dokument 9 - Izidro Nozal
dokument 10 - Roberto Heras
dokument 11 - Rene Andrle
dokument 12 - MISSING
dokument 13 - Small group of Liberty Seguros-ryttere (called AMA)
dokument 14 - Jan Hruska
dokument 15 - Jesús Hernández;
dokument 16 - Igor Gonzalez Galdeano
dokument 17-22 - MISSING
dokument 23 - Allan Davis
dokument 24 - Jörg Jaksche
dokument 25 - MISSING
dokument 26 - Michele Scarponi
dokument 27 - David Etxebarría
dokument 28 - Joseba Beloki
dokument 29 - Igor Gonzalez Galdeano (again)
dokument 30 - MISSING
These riders are Alberto Contadors teammates.
Someone
http://www.sportensverden.dk/cycling/item.asp?id=4049 made a comparison between the above list and the entire team Liberty-Seguros.
Giampaolo Caruso, Koldo Gil (both mentionend in casemap 55 and 58)
Dariusz Baranowsky (stopped)
Nuno Ribeiro (busted for Epo)
Marcos Serrano (heavily incriminated in the Puerto files elsewhere)
That allegedly only leaves out two names from the Liberty-Seguros team, namely the two Spanish top talents; Alberto Contador and Luis Leon Sanchez, and Sanchez is, as mentionend before, son of a leading Guardia Civil police officer on the Puerto case.
And Alberto Contador must be A.C. from "document 31" all the rest of the riders in that bunch of dopingfiles are identified by the initials. Jörg Jacksche has confirmed that the dopingplan in document 31 labeled J.J. is his. He also confirmed that Dr. Fuentes handwriting was on the files labeled A.C.
And come on, except for perhaps Baranowsky, the entire Liberty-Seguros team has either been busted for doping, or are clearly Dr. Fuentes clients, or both. Why should Contador be the only clean rider on that team?
