Finally comes the news that we were waiting for, CAS made
their decision on the Alberto Contador clenbuterol case.
It has been 19 months since Contador gave that now infamous positive
test and we may still not have a conclusive answer. The Spaniard has 30 days to
appeal and could announce his intentions, in a press conference on 7th
February. If he does choose to appeal,
he could have competed through his entire ban and not feel the effects of it.
Whether you think Contador is innocent or guilty, you have
to admit that this case has been handled as badly as it possibly could have
been. I personally lean towards the side of the two/three-time Tour de France winner.
However, if he is going to be punished it should be done properly and should
actually be a punishment.
