For the good of cycling a 1 year ban is fair,w/DQ Tour 2010. Minus the 3 weeks Contador rode in July last year. Make it like a misdemeanor criminal case, once he begins racing, the DQ is stricken from the records, as if he never competed in the 2010 event.
I would say that he should be eligible for the 2011 tour but the organizers need to give him his obligatory ban from the tour, just for this year.
He can make his debut GT event at the Vuelta 11 raising the bar, possibly elevating the Vuelta to 3rd GT status.
Of course as of the lifting of his ban Contador should plead to ride the tour 11 but given the cold shoulder by the organizers.
After Contadors tour snub, I hope Contador makes a firey comeback in all types of smaller races, some coinciding with the tour. Of course Contador needs to be banned from any celebraty,Crits , Japan race, races in the Carribean.
Contador needs the bread and water diet, do not pass go do not collect $200
no You Tube whining, no endorsements etc.
This is my thought for the good of the cycling fan base and fairness to the other riders. I hope some of the chief mucky mucks in the sport of cycling take heed to my words.
Let the circus continue!
