doping
After the tour ended, it became known that Héctor Guerra , Nuno Ribeiro and Isidro Nozal (all Liberty Seguros ) had tested positive for the doping agent CERA before the tour started. After the B-samples were positive, Nuno Ribeiro was deprived of the overall victory, the mountain classification and the victory on the 9th stage. As the overall winner, David Blanco moved up, who was also awarded the victory on the 9th stage and in the final individual time trial (which Hector Guerra won). Due to the doping cases, Liberty Seguros withdrew with immediate effect.
