"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 CastaƱo, called the decision 'great news for cycling and for all Spanish sport.'"

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

You know, it only looks weird if you think it's a democratic, open, process of elected leaders responding to their electorate and making informed decisions. Once you realize it's a bunch of crooked insiders, covering their asses, it's much easier.
