It's an amusing progression, if 20 years ago a positive test only led to time penalties, and now, you get fired and banned from races just for rumours that you doped, you have to wonder what it will be in 20 years... -ilan

Yeah, right! In French, "supporter" literally means "to put up with." Since the French regularly mistranslate faux cousins, e.g., they now use "supporter" as in English (in correct French "soutenir"), maybe it's a clever counter.

Americans are growing weary of seeing their sons die in wars to bring democracy to people who do not seem all that appreciative. They are tired of reading of factories going to China and jobs going to India, while illegal aliens march in their cities under foreign flags to demand their "civil rights." They are tired of reading about new billionaires as their wages fail to rise to compensate for soaring gas prices and the falling value of their homes.

I was bald without hair at 16, and hadn't even started the dope yet. And I am just past 53 now and don't look Rassmussenesque, but people say I don't look more than 45. The teeth bit is just a cultural difference. Having lived in Europe, I know that snaggle teeth are a sign of independence. Braces in France are for women who need to hold their underwear up. I love Paris. I once saw a thong on the pavement, but didn't pick it up.

Yeah, right! Absolutely. Hinault admitted that there had been some misunderstanding about his way of riding, but that was only because not everyone had understood that he wanted to give his team-mate a much more valuable gift than a simple Tour victory. By his seeming resistance he wanted to impart >character= to LeMond: "Thanks to me Greg has become a very good rider.
