Last Laugh Goes to Andy

When Alberto Contador defied one of the timeless traditions of cycling and took advantage of Andy Schleck's chain malfunction in the 2010 Tour de France, Andy took the high road and was the first to forgive him. It spoiled what would have been one of the best finishes in recent years as two of the top riders were going toe to toe. 

Yesterday Schleck was awarded the title as Contador's crown was stripped for testing positive during the race. He claims he ate tainted meat which accounts for his positive result. Maybe the cycling gods just peed in his cornflakes. Schleck will not be satisfied with winning this way but I'm sure he's smiling, at least to himself.
