Carlos Sastre wins Tour de France

Incredible, Spain is the country who is celebrating the most when it comes to sports this year, first Rafael Nadal wins Rolland Garros and Wimbledon, then their national soccer team wins the Euro Cup 2008, and to finished greatly, Carlos Sastre celebrates with a few victory laps around the Champs-Elysees as he just won the toughest cyclic competition worldwide, the Tour de France.

Sastre had a good deal of extreme competition fighting for the first place against Australian Cadel Evans, who has finished second and with less than one minute of difference from the first place for two years straight, last year it was against Alberto Contador.

The win comes as a way to clean Spain’s bad name for last year’s disqualification of Contador and his team for doping reasons, though Spain’s runners are clean this time around, this year hasn’t been an exception when it comes to drug usage, as Dmitriy Fofonov, who finished 19th overall, tested positive for banned stimulant heptaminol, and got fired from team Credit Agricole.

Organizers of the event are clear about the increment of security this year when it comes to stop the usage of prohibited substances, and in despite of Fofonov’s situation, it seems like they are doing a good job on that respect.
