Albert Contador News

3-time Tour De France winner, Albert Contador, tested positive for a banned substance. Contador’s rebuttal is that he tested positive because of a steak he ate days prior. This sounds like the story of the girl who claimed she got pregnant from eating fish.

Experts have come to his defense, saying that the drug Contador is being accused of taking, clenbuterol, is often illegally given to cows to make them bigger. Contador is vowing to clear his name so that this latest scandal does not take away from his great accomplishments.

When Contador was asked on his stance regarding the matter he had this to say, “I vow to clear my name and prove my innocence and not to let this scandal destroy everything that I have done.”

Contador went on to say, “The UCI itself told me to my face that it was a case of food contamination.”

Whether the use of this banned substance was accidental or on purpose, in all likelihood the UCI is going to take the most recent Tour De France victory away from Albert Contador.

New York Yankees Clinch Playoff Berth

The infamous New York Yankees have officially clinched a playoff spot for the 2010 MLB playoff race. Just minutes ago the Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by a score of 6-1.

With C.C Sabathia as the Yankees pitcher winning his 21st game with the Yankees this season, the Yankees are on their way to their 15th playoff appearance in the last 16 years.

Sabathia is 21-7 this season and allowed only one run and three hits against the Jays today. Sabathia has matched Andy Pettitte’s 21 wins in 1996 and 2003 for the most wins by a Yankee since Ron Guidry went 22-6 in 1985. These are pretty impressive numbers for a team that MLB fans love to hate.

New York Yankees Betting Odds

The Yankees are currently sitting at 8/5 betting odds to win the AL Championship and 3/1 betting odds to win the 2010 MLB World Series.
Although many online betting players hate to bet on a favorite so big, especially when it is the New York Yankees, but if you are looking to make a quick buck betting online, take the New York Yankees at 3/1 betting odds to win the 2010 World Series.

Phillies Claim NL East for Fourth Straight Year

With Roy Halladay on the mound, the Philadelphia Phillies claimed the National League East Title for the fourth straight year in a row in a win over the Washington Nationals. This win was especially special for Halladay as it was his 21st with the Phillies, and marks the first time he will be going into the MLB playoffs.

The Phillies were at 1/1 betting odds to win the NL East at the start of this season.

MLB World Series Betting Odds

Now that the Philadelphia Phillies have clinched a playoff spot, they are mentally preparing themselves for the MLB World Series in which they are currently sitting at 11/4 betting odds to win.

Miami Heat Media Day

Lebron James is taking names and kicking a$$. At the first day of the Miami Heat Media Day, Lebron James was asked what he thought of Michael Jordan’s comments along with those comments made by Charles Barkley, and Magic Johnson.

Lebron’s reply was short and sweet, “I have a list of every name and comment made over the summer.”

Either Lebron is planning to toilet paper the houses of all his naysayers, or he is planning on winning, winning a lot this season. Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade are also backing him up and predicting a dominating season for the Miami Heat.

Miami Heat Betting Odds

Betting Odds for the Miami Heat to win the NBA Finals are currently set at 7/4. Nobody knows for sure what is going to happen this NBA season, but I do predict it will be one of the most watched. Before this season even starts we already have a 3-way rivalry between the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers.

Carmelo Anthony Trade

With all of the offseason kafuffle in the NBA this Summer, many forgot about Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets and his contract woes. A Summer full of news about Lebron James, Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade, Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant, and you can see how the mild tempered Carmelo might stay below the radar.

Now that Spring training camp in the NBA is only a couple of days from tipping off, rumors of Carmelo Anthony wanting a trade are starting to surface.

Denver Nuggets Betting Odds

Betting odds for the Denver Nuggets to win the NBA Finals Championships are currently sitting at 30/1 for this season. These betting odds will undoubtedly change as Carmelo Anthony makes his decision regarding a contract extension.

Current reports are speculating that the Nuggets have offered Carmelo Anthony a 3-year extension for $65 Million; however Anthony is unwilling to sign as he would prefer to be traded by next season.

If the Nuggets cannot sign Anthony by the end of this year, he will walk away as a free agent like Chris Bosh did with the Raptors, leaving the Nuggets with no trade bait.
