Almost 2 years late, Schleck gets his yellow jersey for 2010 Tour win after Contador's DQ
MONDORF-LES-BAINS, Luxembourg - Almost two years late, Andy Schleck got his yellow jersey for winning the 2010 Tour de France on Tuesday as a result of Alberto Contador being stripped of the title for failing a doping test.
Schleck finished second in the race and has repeatedly said the decision to give him the title felt like a hollow victory since he did not secure it on the grueling roads of France. Contador lost the title when sports' highest court in February rejected his story that contaminated meat caused the failed drug test.
The jersey was handed over to the Luxembourger in a ceremony attended by Tour de France organizers. It came on the eve of the Tour de Luxembourg, a preparatory race for this year's Tour de France, which starts June 30.
