    LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP)—Alberto Contador’s doping case will be heard over three days next month at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

    CAS says it has set June 6-8 to hear appeals filed by the International Cycling Union and World Anti-Doping Agency against the three-time Tour de France champion and the Spanish cycling federation.

    The UCI and WADA are challenging Contador’s acquittal on doping charges by Spanish authorities in February.

    A tribunal accepted Contador’s defense that eating contaminated beef caused his positive test for clenbuterol when he led in the final week of the Tour last July.

    Contador is currently leading the three-week Giro d’Italia.

    Damn, I was hoping they'd schedule it for next week.

    So we'll have to wait for just over a week to know who really won the Giro.

    Does anyone know if CAS factor an athletes relative sexiness into their decision making process?

    God this is depressing, who'll get full on busted first, Lance or Bertie? My money is on Contador. Its terrible for cycling though, with Cav and Swift getting wins we should be seeing it in the press for the right reasons for once, not just for all this s**t.

    They're bad dates for Bertie. He's meant to be the keynote speaker at this event:

    At least it's in June- think how much fun they could have had holding it straight after the Tour.

    I didn't realise Contador was a Dad. I always thought he batted for the other side. You can never judge a book by it's cover I suppose.

    Neither did I, Mr Rapper- although I knew he'd been going steady with the same girlfriend for years.

    Cycling could do with a (male) gay superstar though. Didn't do rugby any harm, and then there's power of the pink pound/euro/dollar.

    A certain former world champion fits the bill Tusher... a very suggestive cartoon at the,roadside at flanders this year repeated the hypothesis!

    (is thinking very hard about this one. Could it be the one I'm thinking of, who is married and has a wee dog?)

    They will be hearing the case at that time - but how long before they actually give their decision?

    Well, to fully consider all aspects of their decision, they'll have to spend 11 months on the internet reading through The Clinic rantings.

    Tusher, no. Earlier

    How did Basso get busted then? He is dreamy.
