Penalver, Spain — Champion cyclist Alberto Contador has been awarded the peculiar honor of receiving his weight in honey, a delicacy of the Spanish town of Penalver.Contador, along with his bike, were weighed on a scale set up in the town square on Saturday. The total was multiplied by six for the Spanish rider's major stage wins (three at the Tour de France, two at the Giro d'Italia, and one at the Spanish Vuelta).Spain soccer coach Vicente Del Bosque received the honor last year that is given to promote the local product.Contador is awaiting the verdict of the Court of Arbitration for Sport on his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs in the 2010 Tour.
