第15站結束後 (...(恕刪)
事實上，
美國三屆環法冠軍(1986、1989、1990年)Greg LeMond
對 Contador 在第15站最後 Verbier的爬坡表現，
就提出了強烈的質疑。
...言下之意，只有吃藥才會有這種超人的表現 (質疑他的最大攝氧量 VO2 max)...
請看以下這段 cyclingnews 的報導：
"It is like a Mercedes sedan winning a on a Formula 1 circuit."
-Greg LeMond on Contador's climb to Verbier.
"Alberto Contador established a speed record: he went up the 8.5 km climb in 20:55. How to explain such a performance?" wrote LeMond.
"He would have required a VO2 max [maximal oxygen consumption] of 99.5 ml / min / kg to produce the effort. To my knowledge, this is a figure that has never been achieved by any athlete in any sport.
"It is like a Mercedes sedan winning a on a Formula 1 circuit. There is something wrong. It would be interesting to know what's under the hood."
LeMond based his article on data from former Festina trainer and specialist in performance, Antoine Vayer.
He said the burden is on Contador to prove he is capable of his performance without the use of drugs.
