Alberto Contador, qui s'apprête à remporter le Tour de France, dimanche 29
juillet, est un miraculé de l'"opération Puerto". L'affaire a été classée -
provisoirement - sans suite, en mars, par le juge madrilène Antonio Serrano.
L'enquête de la police espagnole avait pourtant mis au jour un réseau de
dopage organisé par le médecin Eufemiano Fuentes notamment au sein de
l'ancienne équipe du maillot jaune, la formation Liberty-Seguros, dirigée
par Manolo Saiz. Le mentor du cyclisme espagnol et d'Alberto Contador est,
depuis, tenu au ban du cyclisme mais continue d'être considéré comme un
"second père" par le leader du Tour.

For what it's worth, the UCI said it was a mistake
to have his name listed with the dopers on Liberty-
Seguros

No, the UCI said that they don't have any proof of him beeing
implicated in OP because thay havn't recived any papers on A.C in
Operation Puerto.

They are protecting his individual rights, just as they where trying to
do with Michael Rasmussen.

"When cycling?s governing body released a list of the riders involved,
Contador?s name was on it. But Contador insisted he had never been
treated by Fuentes, and the International Cycling Union agreed that it
had made a mistake, clearing Contador of any involvement."

The spanish authorities labeled the A.C file aka document #31 with a
sticker "Document 31 is not available for UCI"

As i said, the UCI can't do anything about it (yet). They have to
follow civialn law and laws of sport. If they tried opening a case
against Contador it would be dismissed by CAS.

The difference betwen Contador and Basso/Ulrich's involvement is that
UCI and their respective national federations has access to the files
dealing with Basso/Ulrich.

UCI can't build a case because of hearsay, they need evidence which
doping tests is all about. Just as they can't exclude Rasmussen
because of hearsay.
ASO wan't to be able to use hearsay as evidence.
