Here's a pdf version that you can cut and paste (in sections) into Google Translate: http://www.as.com/misc/resolucion_caso_contador.pdf Most is surprisingly legible for an automatic service but some bits, especially 4.1.3 (mentioned above) and 4.1.4 ('monkey athlete') look dodgy. Replacing...

The ruling includes statements from Contador's experts that Clen transfer from blood bags is not consistent with current scientific knowledge (NB: this section poorly translates automatically). I know there is the issue about objectivity of each sides experts but an opposing view does not make...
