Contador to appeal

THE head of Spain's cycling federation has warned Alberto Contador that appealing against his ban for failing a dope test could lead to a stiffer penalty than the provisional one-year suspension. The triple Tour de France champion has 10 days to appeal the federation's preliminary decision to ban him for a year. He also has the possibility of taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but federation president Juan Carlos Castano said that might be counterproductive. "If Contador appeals to CAS I see it as very difficult that the case won't become more complicated, including even making it worse," Castano said.
