"The Spanish Cycling Federation's ruling came three weeks after it recommended Contador serve a one-year ban rather than the standard two-year penalty."

"The president of Spain's cycling federation, Juan Carlos Castaño, called the decision 'great news for cycling and for all Spanish sport.'"

[Lister Farrar]

Wanna know an interesting thing? Contador recorded his media comments about his exoneration 2 hours before it was announced by the Spanish cycling federation.
