Cycling Union Asks Spanish to Investigate Contador Doping Case

Cycling’s governing body asked Spanish authorities to open disciplinary proceedings against Tour de France champion Alberto Contador, who tested positive for a banned substance in winning this year’s race.
The International Cycling Union, or UCI, suspended Contador provisionally in September after his July 21 urine sample contained “very small” traces of clenbuterol. Contador, a three-time winner of cycling’s biggest event, denies doping and says the substance came from contaminated meat.
