Leopard Trek want end to Contador saga

ANDY SCHLECK’S Leopard Trek team say they want to propel the two-time Tour de France runner-up to victory in cycling’s most prestigious bike race on the road, rather than in the courtroom.

Schleck, who finished second to Alberto Contador in each of the last two years, stands to benefit if the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) opts to strip Contador of his 2010 Tour title following his positive test for clenbuterol last July.

The Spaniard, winner of the 2007, 2009 and 2010 Tours, maintains his innocence — insisting the adverse finding was a result of contaminated meat — and CAS will sit on the case in early August.
