News has surfaced that this year’s Tour de France winner Alberto Contador failed a drug test. Small traces of a banned substance were found in the three-time Tour de France winner’s urine. Since Floyd Landis already tried the whiskey excuse back in 2006, Contador explains food contamination is to blame for failing. Contador tested positive on July 21, during the final stages of the tour and says he ate a bad steak.
Clenbuterol is sometimes given to cows, pigs and other animals to increase their growth rate but has never shown up positive in a drug test.
Contador beat second place rider Andy Schleck (Luxembourg) by 39 seconds. Next to Schleck, the next happiest guy is Lance Armstrong, who has stolen the cycling headlines (the few headlines that they have) for steroid allegations.

This past summer, Pippen returned to the Bulls, where he played the majority of his NBA career as a team ambassador. Pippen also has a home in Miami, and according to the Investopedia, Pippen has lost more than $120 million dollars because of bad investments… maybe Larsa can team up with Teresa Giudice from Real Housewives New Jersey.
A fan at last night’s Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers game caught a foul ball while holding a baby. What will probably get him in trouble with from his wife, it was great for the SportsCenter highlights. The Indians beat the Tigers 4-0, although the game didn’t mean much to either team, who are 13 and 25 games back respectively. Still, it’ll make a great story for when the kid is older at how his dad sacrificed his life for a foul ball.
