WADA lawyers came close to walking from Contador case

AP have uncovered that WADA’s lawyers came close to walking out of Alberto Contador’s CAS hearing last November. The hearing, which took place over several days was set up to determine whether Contador had doped during the 2010 Tour de France after traces of clenbuterol were found in his system. The final ruling from CAS’ three-man panel is due to be announced next week but the apparent walkout stemmed from one of WADA’s key witnesses being denied oral testimony.
