Contador clenbuterol case: CAS selects hearing panel

Alberto Contador wins stage, Tour of Murcia 2011, stage two

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has selected the three people who will rule on Alberto Contador's clenbuterol case - and a verdict is likely before the start of this year's Tour de France in July.

Efraim Barak (Israel), Quentin Byrne-Sutton (Switzerland) and Professor Ulrich Haas (Germany) will study the evidence in the case after the sport's governing body, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) both lodged appeals subsequent to the Spanish Cycling Federation (RFEC) clearing Contador of charges relating to the positive.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
