I suppose those French aren't giggling too loudly about Cofidis these days.

Thanks, I didn't know much of the details of the case. 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...

That last indiscretion would probably earn him an extra Yellow Jersey,
according to French cultural values.
Penalising people for their sexual indiscretions, is an American
thing, nothing to do with France.

The yellow condom for GC and the green condom for best sprinter (h^2 would
like that one).

Delgado tested positive for a legal substance which gave evidence that
he was doping. This means he
got to keep his Tour de France title despite overwhelming evidence of
doping. He cannot be considered
a clean winner, despite having the right to keep his title, having
been kept the rules of the event.

Whatever the absolute morality of the situation, Perico tested
positive for absolutely nothing

And in support of Delgado, the lads ignored the starter's flag at the
20th stage in protest at how the tests had been conducted and reported

You will remember that the Press got the news before Perico got
it himself, another earlier LNDD breach of security and ethics when
LNDD should not even have reported anything because they used the
wrong list.

Then some Froggy Sports Minister who couldn't carry Marie-George's
Lunch Bucket in that Portfolio, a Wanker by the name of Lionel Jospin,
in turn boycotted the climax of the event, accusing the sport of
"straying from considerations of health and morals".

Interestingly, there's a remote possibility that Perico would still
have been the Winner even had he been positive since he was 5 minutes
ahead and the penalty for doping was only 10 minutes added to GC time.

Anquetil admitted that he used dope and I don't see them removing his

daughter pregnant.

Why should they? When he won his Tours doping was still allowed. .

... which is still allowed (by the UCI anyway).

Sorry to inform someone so well informed to begin with but most men
who are going to lose their hair start losing it at 20 years old. By
24 I was bald and I don't like to take aspirin.

Besides, Rasmussen isn't bald at all. He's just shaving his head, which -
AFAIK - isn't a considered as a sign of using doping (yet).

He seems to have let it grow a bit longer this year. Does make him look less

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.
ASO clever, that would be different.

Delgado was also found guilty of doping during his Tour win. They
don't seem to have
a problem with that though.

Perico used Probenicid which in and of itself is not perfrmance
enhancing

However it is a Masking Agent and is useful in negating tests for real
performance enhancers

It was, if I remember correctly, on the IOC's Banned Substances List,
but not on the UCI's

Ergo, Perico was Clean as Lance Armstrong

There is a rising sentiment in America today, it is nationalism.

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.

the french bias is that the french team aren't allow to train OUTSIDE France
before the tour, meanwhile other countries don't accept dope control, it's
like financial paradise aurond here.
come on ...rassmusen looks already like a 50 old guy, or someone who have
aid treatment, he is already all bald, how can you explain that in the past
everyone have hairs and now they are bald ? it's like the american girls in
athletism that have braces in their teeth at 20 . they are all dope. it'es
easy to see that.

it's the hormonal dope that makes the guy bald at already the age of 20,
it's the same with the teeth that needs braces, it's so obvious

In the style of "bidon jaune"

Wow, you really are a character "bidon jaune".

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.

That's why I kick my dog when he's sleeping. Can't trust anyone, and
he's a better dog for knowing that.

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. Later on he=ll
draw a lot of benefit from the psychological war I=ve waged against him.
From now on he=ll be capable of winning the toughest races. I=ve taught him
a lot. In future he=ll be able to defend himself on every terrain and that,
too, he owes in part to me. I don=t regret what I=ve done, because it was
