Cycling: Contador ready to make comeback
Cleared to ride again after a two-year doping ban he blamed on a contaminated steak, Alberto Contador launches his big comeback in a mountainous Tour of Spain today. He has kept his silence for months since the Swiss-based Court of Arbitration for Sport handed down a two-year ban to the Tour de France winner on February 6.
The injustice that Contador says he has suffered will now serve only as a spur to expand his collection of trophies. The 2012 Tour of Spain could be the first morsel of a comeback feast for the Saxo-Bank cyclist. The race, which Contador won in 2008, the only time he has previously taken part, looks to be well within his grasp.
