Contador blasts 'unfair?suspension for doping

PALMA DE MAJORCA, Spain - Tour de France champion Alberto Contador feels he has been "unfairly punished" by the sport's ruling body, which has suspended him for one year for a positive doping test, his spokesman said on Thursday.

"He's disappointed because he is innocent and feels he is being unfairly punished," said Jacinto Vidarte.

Contador was at his Saxo's team hotel in Palma on Thursday, on the Spanish Balearic island of Majorca, while the rest of his teammates continued training.
