Tour de France contender Cadel Evans is mystified as to why Alberto Contador's doping case is taking so long to resolve and is hoping for a final decision sooner rather than later. Three-times winner Contador was cleared to ride in the July 2-24 Tour de France on Tuesday after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said its ruling over a positive test for a banned anabolic agent would be postponed until August.
Australian Evans, who has twice finished runner-up in the world's most prestigious cycling race and is a leading contender this year with the BMC team, betrayed some frustration with the lengthy process. "In many of these situations someone is guilty or not guilty, I just hope that justice prevails," the 34-year-old told the Geelong Advertiser in Italy.
