The AP has reported that cyclist Alberto Contador and his lawyers are using Richard Gasquet's successful defense against cocaine use as part of their own defense for the Spaniard failing a Tour de France doping test. Contador, who has won the Tour de France three times, said he ingested a muscle-building, weight-loss steroid without knowing it through contaminated meat.
Gasquet avoided a long ban last year after claiming he inadvertently ingested cocaine after kissing a woman at a Florida nightclub. He managed to avoid a two-year ban, but did suffer a 2½-month suspension.—Matthew Cronin
