The Hitch said:From what i read its from August till August. Think its August 24th hence he would be 4 days late to start the Vuelta.
If this is the case then this is a 1 year 1 month ban. But since Vuelta is the last gt of the year, and i cant see him going for Lombardy, it would be more like a year an 7 months (Paris Nice 2012) and if hes going for Tour and not Giro in 2012, then its 2 years since his last gt.
Unless it turns out its from July and he can do Vuelta.
Or from August 19th. 4 days either way can make a HUUGE difference.

Contador had a substance that has no place in the body at any level. Full stop.

Berto is in good hands now and will be up and running as stated, pending the legal process that will take up to a year+, the only place for him to go and get what a great champion deserves is Unzué's Movistar.
