Tour de France Scandal

[LBJ 533]

The Associated Press Friday, August 5, 2005; 11:00 PM PARIS, France --

 

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.

LBJ,

 

Testicles? Considering Lance had one testicle removed during his cancer treatment there must be something to be said for that hormone growth stuff after all.

I didn't write it, just the messenger.

 

Besides, those bike seats are way more comfortable without nuts.

 

Maybe they'll ban riders with only one testicle next. No advantage is beyond suspicion.

Hey BigD,

 

BACK OFF!

 

Pétain kept the Germans at bay for months by adopting the brilliant strategy of doing everything they said he should do!

 

APOLOGISE NOW!

Who said you weren't predictable!

 

Anyway, nice to see how easily you embrace a little bit of homophobia. Who would have thought it?

Big D,

 

The Yanks are coming again next summer to Germany for World Cup not World War. Hopefully the French will not be involved this time.
