Contador received the sanction on Monday after testing positive for banned anabolic agent clenbuterol during the 2010 Tour de France and was stripped of his victory.
"Cycling has done more than enough to show it's doing the right things when it comes to the fight against drugs," Australian broadcaster SBS quoted him as saying.
