Contador Tested Positive for Banned Substance; May Lose Tour Title
Alberto Contador, a three-time winner of the Tour de France,
tested positive for a banned substance on the final rest day
of the Tour in July, according to a statement sent Wednesday
by his spokesman, Jacinto Vidarte.
Contador, a Spaniard formerly on the Astana team, could lose
the title he won this year and face a two-year suspension.
He learned about the positive test for the banned drug

said. He had tested positive for the substance on July 21,
one day before the race's decisive mountain stage.
