Cheats never prosper, and a year after Floyd Landis performance-enhanced his way to the 2006 Tour de France title, justice was finally done this week after Spaniard Oscar Pereiro was belatedly awarded the title, as the BBC reports.

Yet, on the same day, Giro d'Italia winner Daniel Di Luca receives a three-month ban for doping offences, proving that some will still not learn their lesson.

Pereiro to receive winner's yellow ..

Posted Oct 9th 2007, 7:24pm by james evans

How will Oscar Pereiro feel next week when he is presented with the 2006 Tour de France winner's jersey?

Elated? Probably not. Cheated? Most likely. But receive it he will as Yahoo 7 Sport confirms that the Spaniard will take the jersey in Madrid following the disqualification of Floyd Landis. (Pictured are the two riders on the podium in Paris last year.)

What are your thoughts? Will this spur Pereiro to win it for real next time around?

Discuss this and other matters on the Isporty Cycling Forum.
