MADRID (AP) The head of the Spanish cycling federation says Alberto Contador will learn the verdict on his failed Tour de France doping test on Thursday.
Contador failed a doping test on the way to his third Tour title, and the Spanish cyclist blamed the positive clenbuterol result on contaminated meat.
Juan Carlos Castano tells The Associated Press that Contador will receive the disciplinary committee's decision and will then have 10 days to present any new evidence or material.
Castano also says the International Cycling Union never provided its own verdict as requested.
