MADRID - According to Spanish media especially El Pais newspaper; Alberto Contador, 2010 Tour de France champion, has been cleared of alleged doping charges during Tour de France in July last year.
Alberto Contador was tested positive for the prohibited substance clenbuterol; but he claimed that it was due to eating contaminated beef at the last day of the race. According to the test reports 50 picograms per milliliter of clenbuterol were found in his body.
Reports published on El Pais website referring undisclosed sources described that the Spanish Cycling Federation cancelled its Jan. 26 proposal for a one-year ban after considering final arguments by Contador’s legal team and finally cleared the champion from the dope charges.
Juan Carlos, president Spanish Cycling Federation, and Contador’s lawyer Andy Ramos and spokesman Jacinto Vidarte seemed reluctant to comment on the news.
International Cycling Union (UCI) and the World Anti-Doping Agency may plea the Spanish federation’s judgment at the Lausanne, Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport, a process that could take months.
