CAS postpones Valverde hearing
AFP - Wed, 11 Nov 12:13:00 2009
The Court of Arbitration of Sport has postponed a hearing into Spanish cyclist Alejandro Valverde's appeal against a doping ban that sidelined him from this year's Tour de France.
The hearing into the two year suspension on Italian soil imposed by the Italian national Olympic committee had been scheduled for November 16.
But CAS said the International Cycling Union and the World Anti-Doping Agency had recently been allowed to join the case, delaying the procedure.
"As a consequence, all parties concerned have agreed to postpone the hearing that was initially fixed for 16 November 2009," it added.
"The UCI and WADA will have the opportunity to file written submissions and a new hearing date will be fixed as soon as possible."
CONI claim a blood sample taken from the Spaniard at the Tour de France when it passed through Italy in 2008 matched DNA from a blood bag seized during the 'Operation Puerto' doping scandal that erupted in May 2006.
As a result of the ban, Valverde was unable to take part in this year's Tour because part of it briefly passed through Italy during stage 16.
The Lausanne-based court also said that another hearing involving Valverde, this time on an appeal by the UCI and WADA seeking to force the Spanish cycling federation to open a doping case against him, was "unlikely to take place before the end of the year."
UCI chief Pat McQuaid belives that Valverde was implicated in the Operation Puerto doping scandal which erupted in May 2006.
McQuaid has said he was waiting for the CAS rulings on both appeals before he would seek to expand the Italian ban worldwide.
Valverde has protested his innocence ever since being linked, belatedly, to Operation Puerto.

Doping apologist John T is so lame, so DUMB and talentless, inexperienced, he does not know that NOBODY can sprint 100% past 200 meters. Not Robbie McQwin, not Cocaine Tom Boonen, not the World Match Sprint Champion.
Have you ever raced a bicycle is a mass start event?????? You do not know a PURSUIT from a double century!
Clowns belong in the circus.

PLEASE PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE POSTS BY THE PERSON WE CALL IT.
IT HAS NO PROOF TO BACK UP ANY ASSERTIONS RE: LANCE ARMSTRONG.
IT IS A LIAR, IT IS A SLANDERER, IT IS A PURVEYOR OF HALF TRUTHS, AND IT IS VERY, VERY CONFUSED.
PLEASE FORGIVE IT. WE APOLOGIZE, WE ARE WORKING TO HAVE IT BANNED FROM ANY CYCLING POSTS
IN THE FUTURE.
It is POSITIVELY wonderful that doper Floyd Landis was BANNED foir two years and exposed as a Lance Pharmstrong alum and drug cheat.
It was GREAT that Frankie Andreu confessed under oath and in the NY Times to EPO injections art the 1999 Tour whilst riding for Pharmstrong, THUS discrediting that victory as a doped USPO win.
It is terrific that David Walsh (Rupert Murdock) London Times) wrote two books outlining Lance's drug cheating and how Floyd Landis was DQed from the TDF in 2006.
It was POSITIVE that Lance's long-time STEROID dealer, Michele Ferraari was CONVICTED of illegal pharmacy in October 2004.
It was great news that Laurent Fignon (French Champion and doouble TDF) CONFESSED his steroid and stimulant injections NOW, at age 47, before he dies of his Pancreatic Cancer.
Super positive news in the charade of TV steroid, hGH, hCG, EPO sports which most morons lust after.
Thanks for asking.
Cow blood Hemopure doper Michael Rasmussen won the 1997 TDF. Alberto Contadoper was 2nd. Without the DQ nonsense that is.
Alex Zulle won the 1999 TDF had Lance Pharmstrong been DQed for steroids that he tested positive for in the prologue TT.
TV theaters on massive steroids, EPO, hGH, insulin, cow blood is so dumb!
