Alberto Contador, a third time Tour de France winner, is blaming bad meat on testing positive for a banned substance in the competition.

Contador alleges he consumed beef contaminated with Clenbuterol, a substance sometimes given to cattle to increase their growth rate, which is also an asthma drug that some athletes use as a stimulant.

“It’s a case of food contamination in which I’m the victim,” Contador said,according to the Wall Street Journal. He told a radio station that people he had dined with had complained about the quality of the meat, which was brought for the team at a shop in Spain. If anti-doping officials in Spain find him guilty, Contador could lose his 2010 Tour de France title and be banned from cycling for 2 years. However, there is data that shows Contador and other people can be victims of cows who dope.

Back in 1991, the FDA was alerted that the drug, normally only possessed by veterinarians, was being used to gain competitive advantage in animals. The FDA states that Clenbuterol residues can cause heart and lung function problems for people who have eaten the liver or meat of animals given the drug. In addition, several short-term illnesses in Europe have been traced to people eating meat contaminated with Clenbuterol.

In Spain, where Contador consumed the meat, Clenbuterol controversy had reared its head several times. In two outbreaks in 1990, 135 people who consumed contaminated beef that was verified positive for Clenbuterol were hospitalized for symptoms of increased heart rate, muscular tremors, headache, nausea, fever, and chills. An earlier outbreak with similar symptoms made Clenbuterol a suspect, but nothing was confirmed.

While we’re still waiting for John Salley‘s natural food line to come out, it’s still exciting to hear Spider Legs discuss his favorite meals he likes to whip up at home.

The NBA legend is a fan of vegan mayonnaise Vegenaise and enjoys smothering it on an avocado sandwich and washing the whole thing down with some homemade root beer.

“I do something like an avocado sandwich with Vegenaise, mustard, live sprouts, grape tomatoes and some toasted bread,” Salley told Tampa Bay. “I eat avocado almost every day. I may mix bananas, mangoes, papayas and blend it up.”

Robin Quivers is training for her first marathon, which will take place in New York city in November. Quivers keeps her fans and interested readers updated on her progress and thoughts at more.com and recently, she brought up the subject of energy gels.

“I’d heard from some followers on Twitter that most gels were vegan and vegetarian-friendly. A friend had given me a brand to try, but how was I going to carry it? I already tote a big bottle of water around, so I couldn’t hold the gel at the same time. I decided to wear a belt with a pouch that I picked up once in the travel section of a drug store. It wasn’t perfect, but it should work.”

Several energy gels or shots exist for the vegetarian and vegan athlete, as well as recipes to make them from scratch. Gels are designed to replace carbohydrates and electrolytes during physical activity.
