Contador, tested positive for the banned anabolic agent clenbuterol during the 2010 Tour de France, had been cleared by the Spanish cycling federation but the International Cycling Union and the World Anti-Doping Agency have appealed the decision.
“The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has allowed a request for a second exchange of written submissions between the parties as well as for a new procedural calendar.

“Such request was formulated by WADA with the unanimous agreement of the three other parties,” CAS announced.
“As a consequence of the parties’ request, the hearing which was scheduled for August 1-3,2011 is cancelled and will be re-scheduled, probably in November 2011.”
