Contador gets doping ban
THREE-TIME Tour de France runner-up Andy Schleck looks set to be handed the 2010 title retrospectively after multiple winner Alberto Contador was yesterday banned for doping.
Contador, also Tour winner in 2007 and 2009, was stripped of all results dating back to the 2010 race and banned until August this year after losing an 18-month legal battle.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport said there was insufficient evidence “on a balance of probabilities” to support the Spaniard’s claim that he unwittingly ingested the stimulant clenbuterol in contaminated meat.
