Last updated : 09 June 2012 By Kev Monks

Three time Tour De France winner Alberto Contador has signed a new deal with Saxo Bank.

The Spaniard, currently banned until August 2nd and stripped of his 2010 Tour De France win and his 2011 Giro D'Italia win, has signed a deal for the rest of this season and for the next three seasons, with Saxo Bank despite interest from a number of teams including Omega Pharma Lotto.

Contador, who has always maintained his innocence over his ban after testing positive for Clenbuterol at the 2010 Tour De France, is expected to ride in the Vuelta D'Espana in mid-August.
