Anti-doping authorities must not be afraid of “bringing down our heroes,” Travis Tygart, CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency said.&💙nbsp; He also criticised the Spanish federation's “flip-flop” on the Alberto Contador Clenbuterol case.

The Federation 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:initially recommended 𝄹a one-year ban. Before the decision became final, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero said that that there was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“no legal reason” to sanction him.  The Federation ultimately cleared Contadꦯor of the doping charges.

. “WADA plays the great equalizer t🔜o ensure justice is even and in line with the facts and the rules around the world.”

“Clearly what has been reported was a flip-flop—there was a one-year agreement (ban) and then there were statements from the priജme minister … and then there is a zero sanction,” Tygart said.   “I don’t know what the right outcome is, I haven’t seen the evidence, but from a perception standpoint, something is not right there.

“Something should be looked into, and it looks (like) it is right at the heart of the lack of independence when you have a national federation … which might not have the expertise, which might not have the funding, which has to go after and prosecute a national hero who just won the biggest cycling event in the world. Tꦰhat is not an easy thing to do for anyone.”

“It’s a tough world we live in bringing down our heroes,” Tygart said. “But if our heroes need to be brought down because they cheated then that’s♑ what all⛎ athletes expect us to need to do and we need to have a strong resolve to do that sometimes.”
