hmmmmm. how should we read into this? did they realize what they did was wrong and backpedaled to look forgiving or were they pressured/felt pressured to give him a free pass? either way they look bad.
Maybe they realize that kicking Lance out of the tour means no team Asta...I mean Livestrong, which means no Contador. Someone has to bankroll that team.
I don't mean to cast any aspersions on Contador, who apparently can climb like Pantani and time trial like Indurain. That's totally normal, and well within what the human body normally does....
Everyone knows that Indurain and Pantani were totally clean, by the way...

The report said they didn't test his hair, which was probably clean anyways
