Spaniard voices supp🌞ort for Rogers in c💙lenbuterol case
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alberto Contador has refused to rule out the possibility of Samuel Sanchez signing for his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff-Saxo team, although he noted that it would "not be strictly necessary" for the team to replace Michael Rogers on its roster should the Australian be handed a ban 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:fol🍨lowing his positive test for Clenbuterol.
Sanchez is without a team for 2014 following the demise of the Euskaltel-Euskadi squad at the end of last season, and he confirmed to Cyclingnews last week that he does not have a concrete plan in place for th♔e coming year, in spite of rumours linking him with a number of🌳 teams, including Tinkoff-Saxo.
, adding that he would have a better handle on the situation when the Tinkoff-Saxo team assembles for a training camp next week."Is it a possibility? I'd like that," Contador said of Sanchez's possible arrival. "Who wouldn't like a rider of his quality on 🍒his team? And all the more so given the great relationship we have."
Contador also expressed his support for Michael Rogers, who tested positive for clenbuterol at the Japan Cup in October and is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:currently awaiting analysis of his B☂ sample. The Australian has claimed th🦩at the positive test was triggered by eating contaminated meat during tܫhe Tour of Beijing.
"I hope that everything can be clarified. Personally I think it was due to contamination," said Contador. "I have full confidencꦜe in Michael and I hope that they can clarify the matter. He is a fundamental𝓡 part of our team.
ও"As for a possible replacement [for Rogers], today I have a prettﷺy solid team, we're at an advanced date and it’s not strictly necessary."
