They didn't boo him because of positive test, but his lack of respect for Andy last year.
sorry to say, but that's bullshit 
That's your opinion but remember last year french people started to boo him after Contador took advantage of Andy's chain slip.
I know, but i have HARD to believe the frenchmen is still SO angry at Contador after that, especially when it wasn't a frenchman he did it against.
And as far as i know, the Contador case has been very important for them beacuse of the tour...
But of course i can't prove i'm right...

And surely 100 % of them booed him for the very same reason, and only for one single reason ? 
That's a bit too black & white for me, but if those ideas please you, that's fine with me.
That an innocent should be able to ride is natural, but when you've got a positive test, then an appeal shouldn't be suspensive of a suspension (so, if anything, Contador is now hung upside down ?). I guess they booed him mostly because he's a suspended rider in the waiting, but is still going to spoil the race before his suspension actually happens. That's how most see it here.
The clapping at Vino just makes me feel like puking though. It's not like there's the smallest chance that he's been riding clean ever since he's come back. |

Contador has a realistic chance of winning the Tour. Heck, he probably will.
Now, we have this suspension looming over his head, and potentially what will happen is he will be stripped of last years and this years Tour.
Do we want to watch 3 weeks worth of racing for the potential winner to be stripped of his title next month? Nope.
The CAS hearing was supposed to be before the tour de france, it wasn't.
Why the booing? Thats why. Not the chain incident, thats behind everyone now, nobody gives a damn about it. Not even Andy.

True. But the man himself doesn't. He's over it, and really so should all of Andy's fans. What happened, happened. It can't be changed, there is no rule against it.

Exactly...this guy was giving 100% poaitive doping test..then layed about retirement..now aplaus..idiots. Why this guy is more popular then ..for example Basso. Who served he's penalty and looks as most clean ecdoper for me. |

Don't you lack some knowledge about clenbuterol ? 
1) It vanishes very quickly from one's organism but has long time effects. In case of an actual use, but of a slightly bad timing, which amount are you likely to find ? A high one or a very small one ?
2) It's still unproven that his steak had any clenbuterol on it, it's even unlikely.
3) There's a strong rumour that plasticizers have been found in his blood. Drinking in a plastic bottle sends some plasticizers in your guts, but it's too big to reach you blood, so it's obviously coming from a transfusion (be it a legal one), from a plastic bag.
4) What's the common usage of clenbuterol when used for doping ? Take it during Winter time when there are little controls, when it's the right moment to grow some muscle (it's the point of clenbuterol), and when it's not harming your racing performances to get your blood extracted for later transfusions.
Connect the dots now... Obviously it's nothing but a contaminated steak if he says it, right ? |

And of course he says that it was in his meat, because that's his only way out |
