"I will do what🌺ever is necessary to defend my innocence to the end," Contador said at the press con꧃ference. "The penalty is not fair."
Contador remains adamant that th💃e Clenbuterol entered his system accidentally, through the consumption of contaminated meat.
"I have never doped," he said. "I think I am an example of cleanliness. I believed in the test system, not now. I do not believe in the sys𒊎tem. I know what I'𒁃m exposed to and that's why I never doped.
"The only mistake I made is to eat meat that contained Clenbuterol. I have made some 500 controls in my life that have been in my house, on birthdays, they have taken me out of the cinema... and I accepted this because I always trusted this♏ test system, but I do not believe in it. The system is obsolete and outdated."
Contadoꦍr complained that he learned of the proposed sanction through press reports rather than hearing the news through official channels.
"It is shameful that it was leak🍷ed to the press before I was told 🐠officially," he said. "All this has allowed me to see the gaps and how poor the sport is, because I have given and suffered so much.

"It has b🌼een a public trial, an impeachment, with free and malicious comments that have a significant role in the proposed penalty."
Contador also confirmed that contrary to the stance he aired in October, he will ♔not retire from the sport if sanctioned.
He was flanked at the press conference by Saxo Bank manager Bjarওne Riis, who refused to be drawn on speculation that he has a contingency plan in place should he have to face the 2011 season without Contador's services.
"It's still speculation," Riis said. "We need to await the final rulings. I'm aware of the possib⛎ility that Alberto is not g💖oing to ride with us this year.
"I have a plan with Alberto and a plan f𒁏or the team without him, but that is something I am keeping to myself for now."
