Boonen decision expected Friday
Published: Jul. 2, 2009
Tom Boonen will find out on Friday whether he has been granted a last minute reprieve to compete in the Tour de France which starts in Monaco on Saturday.
The former world road race champion, and current Belgian national champion, was barred from the Tour following a positive test for cocaine in April.
Boonen's fate is being decided by the French Olympic Committee's arbitration panel.
The Quick Step rider missed last year's Tour for the same reason.
