The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) are due to announce today a verdict on three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador’s doping case, bringing to an end a succession of delays.
Contador tested positive for the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol during the 2010 Tour de France, but the Spaniard was cleared by the Spanish Cycling Federation in February 2011, prompting the World Anti-Doping Agency and International Cycling Union to appeal the decision to CAS.
The 29-year-old Spaniard claimed he had ingested the banned substance by eating a contaminated steak.
