3 time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador fails drug test

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.

Kendra Wilkinson’s husband Hank Baskett released by Philadelphia Eagles but signed by Minnesota Vikings

Hank Baskett, NFL receiver but best known for his marriage to Kendra Wilkinson, was released form the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday. But Baskett was not without a job for long because he signed with the Minnesota Vikings today after the team failed to trade for San Diego Chargers receiver Vincent Jackson.

The Vikings were in need of a receiver, and Baskett started his career in Minnesota. Baskett signed as a rookie undrafted free agent in 2006 out of the University of New Mexico

This is the second time Baskett has been released by the Eagles. After being released by Philadelphia in 2009, Baskett went on to play for the Inianapolis Colts where he was involved in a controversial slip up in Super Bowl XLIV.

Baskett and Wilkinson have their own reality show on E! Good luck in Minnesota Hank, but Thejerserychaser.com says to keep your day job!!

LeBron James proposes to longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson

Congratulations Savannah Brinson. LeBron James proposed to his longtime girlfriend, highschool sweetheart and mother to his two children. The engagement went down last night, and Savannah texted friends saying, “I’m going to by Mrs. James. He proposed” (sic).

Last month, Savannah gave a rare interview to Vanity Fair about her relationship with James. It is Mrs. LeBron James talked about how she doesn’t put pressure on getting married and how she was not excited about LeBron’s “decision” to go to Miami.

Thejerserychaser.com hopes Savannah is excited about this engagement… and we already have a strong hunch at who our next Jersey Chaser of the Month will be ;)
