Alberto Contador, a Spanish cyclist, was suspended for two years due to doping, as announced by the Tribunal Arbitral del Deporte. The suspension is retroactive to January 25, 2011, affecting his victories, including the 2010 Tour de France and 2011 Giro d'Italia. Andy Schleck will be awarded the 2010 Tour de France title. Contador did not comment on the decision but plans a press conference. His suspension prevents participation in the 2012 Tour de France and London Olympics but allows for the Vuelta a España. Contador has 30 days to appeal in Switzerland, though the appeal won't delay the suspension.
