Contador says a power meter ban could level the field

Alberto Contador was the last rider to dominate the Tour de France for multiple years before being disqualified for testing positive for clenbuterol in the 2010 edition. When he returned from his ban in 2013, the landscape had changed. Team Sky, with its big budget, marginal gains, and Chris Froome - eyes fixed regularly on the numbers on his power meter - had become an unassailable force. Contador believes UCI President David Lappartient's proposal to ban power meters in competition could help loosen Sky's grasp on the Grand Tours.
