Lance should have his TdF victories removed because in the TdF rule book you should really be French, ride a Euro frame and certainly have a Campag groupset. I can understand why the French are so upset now. I think it also preferable to also ride a jolly old bike like they had in 1901. I'm sure the record books will be ammended now.

Imagine riding a Trek bike with Shimano gear and being from the New World... Shouldn't be allowed to enter.
