Predictions
Background
From http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cycling/contador-to-start-the-final-stage-of-his-toughest-trial-20111120-1npgf.html
The reputations of a champion and anti-doping agencies hang on his case.
One of the biggest doping scandals in recent years goes to court this week in a case that could hang on a slice of prime beef that was eaten 16 months ago.
Did Alberto Contador's positive test for clenbuterol during his 2010 Tour de France victory come from contaminated steak bought in Spain?
The three-time Tour winner's legacy and the integrity of anti-doping rules will hang in the balance during a trial beginning today at the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. Given its legal and scientific complexity, a verdict is not expected until January. Contador's large, and expensive, legal team will argue he should be exonerated because he was not at fault for eating meat that was either illegally fattened up with the banned drug in his native Spain or imported already containing it.
