Answer

The Court of Arbitration for Sport imposed a two-year suspension on Alberto Contador for his involvement in a doping scandal. This decision came after a thorough investigation into the use of a prohibited substance, clenbuterol, which was detected in Contador's sample during the 2010 Tour de France. Despite his defense that the substance was consumed inadvertently through contaminated meat, the panel found sufficient evidence to warrant a significant ban.
