Cyclist Alberto Contador, winner of the 2010 Tour de France, has said he has tested positive for a banned substance.
Contador's press officer said he had tested positive for clenbuterol during a rest on the Tour in July. In a statement, the spokesman added that the Spanish rider was the victim of "food contamination" and would hold a news conference later on Thursday. Cycling's governing body, UCI, later confirmed that Contador had been provisionally suspended. Cycling has struggled with doping allegations for years. Among a host of high-profile offenders, US cyclist Floyd Landis was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for a positive drugs test.
