		<description><![CDATA[&#160; We American bike race fans like to make fun of Spain for their complete disinterest in prosecuting their national sports heroes. Even the president of the UCI has said repeatedly that Spain has a doping problem. (Just this week, a new Spanish sports minister-type promised the Olympic committee they&#8217;d bring Spain&#8217;s weak doping laws [...]]]></description>

Farrar reads Buddhist philosophy, he&#8217;s interested in world history, he&#8217;s a curious and thoughtful fellow. He doesn&#8217;t live and die with every race like rival sprinter Mark Cavendish. If there&#8217;s a knock [...]]]></description>

To that title he has now added &#8220;best overweight stage racer.&#8221; Despite carrying over 3 extra kilos, the Spaniard has won two mountain stages in the Tour de San Luis, sometimes called Alberto&#8217;s First And Last Stage Race of 2012. &#8220;I&#8217;m very happy,&#8221; said Contador.
