- Description
Two cows watch a fellow bull (perhaps a steer) peddling furiously along a road on a bike. One of the cows says 'He blames a Tour de France cyclist's jersey he once ate!' Context - Tour de France champion Alberto Contador was suspended from cycling after he tested positive for clenbuteral, a growth accelerating drug used by body builders. His defense? It wasn't me, it was my dinner. Cantador claims he ate a steak contaminated with the clenbuteral on a Tour de France off day in July, a meal that caused his blood to test positive for a "small concentration" of the drug, which is sometimes illegally given to cattle.
