ALBERTO CONTADOR BANNED BY COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT

Www.letour.fr on February 07, 2012 reported that Alberto Contador was banned in Lausanne by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, following a positive test for the stimulant clenbuterol, forbidden according to anti-doping rules, on the rest day on 21st July 2010.

The CAS suspended the Spanish rider for two years. He was also stripped of the title for the Tour de France 2010 as well as his victories in 2011, including the Giro d’Italia. On the basis of this verdict, the International Cycling Union is likely to award victory for the 2010 edition to Andy Schleck, the runner-up in the race.
