A professional cyclist from Spain, Alberto Contador, has a net worth of $17 million.
Alberto Contador Velasco was born in Pinto, Madrid, Spain in December 1982.
He is one of only five road cyclists to have won all three Grand Tours.
The Discovery Channel team was won by Contador in the 2007 Tour de France.
The 2008 Giro d’Italia, 2008 Vuelta a Espana, and 2009 Tour de France were all won by him.
Due to doping, he was removed from the 2010 Tour de France and 2011 Giro d’Italia.
Contador won the Vuelta a Espana in 2012 after being suspended, and his team retired from the 2006 Tour de France before a doping scandal arose.
Although he was exonerated, he was indicted the following year.
Despite testing positive for clenbuterol in 2010, he was cleared by the RFEC.
He is presently a member of Team Tinkoff-Saxo and has previously worked with ONCE-Eroski, Discovery Channel, Astana, and Saxo Bank-SunGard.
He has won several time trials and is a versatile cyclist who can handle all stages of stage racing.
Contador was expected to be a front-runner in the Tour de France 2014.
