Scandal - Lance Armstrong

LivindonSouth

Lance Armstrong's record setting seventh Tour de France victory, along with his entire Tour de France legacy, may be tarnished by what could turn out to be one of the greatest sports scandals of all time Armstrong is being quizzed by French police after three banned substances were found in his South France hotel room while on vacation after winning the 2005 Tour de France.

The three substances found were toothpaste, deodorant, and soap which have been banned by French authorities for over 75 years. Armstrong's girlfriend and American rocker Sheryl Crowe is quoted as saying "we use them every day in America, so we naturally thought they'd be ok throughout Europe."

Along with these three banned substances, French authorities also physically searched Armstrong himself and found several other interesting items that they have never seen before, including a backbone and testicles

Here, here Don! Well said.

I could not, for one minute, believe that Lance Armstrong would deliberately put anything toxic in his body after he literally came back from death's door with advanced cancer.

Just because the French hygiene is questionable, they should not put those constraints on others!

Great comeback Don. I too don't believe Lance would jeopardize everything he has worked so hard for just to have it destroyed by taking drugs. The French are merely sore losers.

Seriously, you have to realize that bicycling has gone so far as to ban over the counter medications that could appear to be an illegal drug. Just taking certain types of cold medicines could land you on the sidelines watching the next race.
