The International Cycling Union has been joined by the World Anti-Doping Agency for appealing against the acquittal of the three-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador following his positive test for clenbuterol.
Contador was permitted to resume his career by the Spanish Cycling Federation.
From Guardian.co.uk:
Wada has now also appealed to the CAS, and a statement from the agency read: “The World Anti-Doping Agency has filed today a declaration to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne against the Spanish Cycling Federation’s decision in the case of Alberto Contador.
“Mr Contador was acquitted following a positive test for clenbuterol during an in-competition test carried out on July 21, 2010. Following its policy, Wada will refrain from commenting further in order to protect the integrity of the process.”
The UCI challenged Spanish Cycling Federation’s decision and confirmed its appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
