Cycling: Maillot jaune for Pereiro

Spanish cyclist Oscar Pereiro will receive his yellow jersey as the retrospective winner of the 2006 Tour de France next Monday in Madrid, say organisers.

The 2006 runner-up has been moved up to first position after American Floyd Landis was stripped of the title for doping. Landis tested positive for testosterone following his 17th stage win at Morzine.

He is the first winner in the 100-year history of the cycling blue riband to be stripped of the title for doping.
