Andy Schleck has been presented with the 2010 Tour de France winner's jersey four months after Alberto Contador was stripped of the victory.
Schleck, from Luxembourg, finished second behind Contador in 2010, but the Spaniard later tested positive for banned substance clenbuterol.
Contador blamed the positive sample on tainted meat, prompting a lengthy process of appeal and counter-appeal. He was initially cleared of wrongdoing by the Royal Spanish Cycling Federation (RFEC), only for the International Cycling Union (UCI) to protest the decision.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland found Contador guilty of intentional doping and he was stripped of his title in February.
The 29-year-old was also stripped of his 2011 Giro d'Italia victory and handed a retrospective two-year ban, which expires in August.
But it has taken until now for RadioShack rider Schleck to be officially presented with the symbolic yellow jersey.
The presentation took place in Schleck's home town of Mondorf-les-Bains, with RadioShack team manager Johan Bruyneel and Tour chief Christian Prudhomme among those in attendance.
"It's great to receive this jersey but for me, it changes nothing: it's not like a victory," Schleck said. "It's not the same feeling as climbing on a podium.
"That said, I'm happy that this ceremony took part with people I wanted to see today."
