UCI to appeal Contador acquittal
Three-time Tour de France champion Contador, insists his inadvertent ingestion of contaminated meat was the reason for his positive test on the final rest day of the 2010 Tour de France. The 28-year-old was handed a proposed one-year ban by the Spanish Cycling Federation (RFEC), before subsequently being acquitted; a decision the UCI have opted to appeal to CAS.
A UCI statement read: “The decision to appeal comes after an in-depth study of the file received from the RFEC.”
