At the time of the investigation even Fuentes, who did not do this for many, pubically said that he had no dealings with and gave no treatment to Contador. That is why he has been said to be cleared of charges realated to Puerto. Heck - some of those who are truely being investicated still raced this year. Oscar Periro, I believe, was implicated as well as Valverde, yet both of them raced this year.

While I think that it is good that the sport is trying to clean itself up, I also think they really need to use proof over rumor and innuendo.... Maybe make the penalties tougher if you test positive, or get caught red handed with doping products, but stop throwing people out on hearsay?
