Contador set to race in Tour

5:53 am on 1 June 2011

The triple Tour de France champion Alberto Contador looks set to take part in this year's race now that his Court of Arbitration for Sport hearing over a failed dope test has been postponed until August.

The Spaniard, who's just won the Giro d'Italia, tested positive for a banned substance on last year's Tour de France, and was cleared by the Spanish Federation, but the International Cycling Union and the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the decision.
