Alberto Contador, the exceptional Spanish cyclist, is now not just synonymous with endurance and speed. Unfortunately for him and the sport of cycling, which for years has struggled to rid itself of a tainted image, he is now known as a cheat.I had hoped against hope that Contador would find a way to prove that he was clean, but his was not to be.So now there is a new winner of the 2010 running of the Tour de France, Andy Schleck. Schelck himself has stated that he does not want to win the race this way, and I understand his desire to prove himself on the road, having also been runner-up to Cadel Evans in 2011. However, all good intentions aside, if Contador is indeed guilty, then Schleck should have and could have won it had Alberto not cheated.
