Contador wins Vuelta title after doping ban

Spain’s Alberto Contador, racing his first Grand Tour since returning from a two-year doping ban last month, won his second (Vuelta a Espana) Tour of Spain crown yesterday.

The Saxo-Bank rider, also a two-time Tour de France winner who lost his 2010 Tour and 2011 Giro titles after testing positive for clenbuterol in 2010, negotiated the 21st and final 115km largely flat stage from Cercedilla to Madrid to claim victory.
