What you are witnessing is UCI damage control. After Floyd Landis, the sport in general has taken a horrific credibility hit, which is why Contador is being somewhat dismissed. And he has been suspended pending further investigation.
Still, the story made the local L.A. news here - it's that big - but again with the caveat that the detected amount was "400 time(s) less than what the anti-doping laboratories accredited by WADA must be able to detect."
The fact is this: every sport is dirty with PEDs. Cycling, football (U.S. and ROW), baseball, golf, even auto racing.
What's said in NASCAR is so true when it comes to PED use in sports overall: "...if you ain't cheating, you don't want to win." (sic)
