A decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Alberto Contador's long-running clenbuterol case will be made during the week of January 31 2012, the organisation said on Monday afternoon.

CAS are ruling on the case of Contador and the Spanish Cycling Federation (RFEC) versus the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regarding Contador's positive test for banned substance clenbuterol during the 2010 Tour de France.

"The CAS will not comment on these allegations. However, the CAS has requested the parties to clarify whether, at this stage, any of them wanted to challenge the composition of the arbitral panel. As all answers were negative, the Panel will now be able to resume its mission. Unfortunately, this regrettable incident has slightly delayed the work of the Panel and the publication of the final decision should now take place during the week of 31 January 2012."
