So Contador has scheduled a press conference in Spain Friday (tomorrow).
1: Admits to doping in the past "is clean now":orly:
2: Denies ever having taken drugs, totally clean OP slate.
3: Admits having won the tour doped "is very sorry"
Given that Bruyneel is expected to be in attendance, i'm going with 1
What do you reckon?

Deny, deny deny. Why admit to something when they are still looking for a new sponsor!

I hear the the makers of EPO are happy with their tour of Cali sponsorship and are looking for a Pro Tour team. Isn't T Mobile looking for a new sponsor - that would kill 2 birds with 1 stone...

#1 doesn't make sense when you consider that Bruyneel will be there. If he admits to having links with Fuentes, then Discovery will automatically suspend him. (It would also eventually lead to a 2-year ban.)
Teams don't hold press conferences with the rider if there is a suspension, they just send out a press release to that effect. They want to distance themselves from the rider, so it doesn't make sense to hold a press conference with the DS and rider.

It would appear that this is why he is having a press conference.
