Sorry, but whatever your view on this whole affair, claiming that Lance 'revived' the Tour is silly. He may have done quite a bit to develop cycling in the US, but the Tour did not need any reviving. Come on. The Tour made Lance, not the other way around.anthonyjf said:The French are just mad because they can't even win their own race.
Lance has been nothing but good to the French people. He revived the Tour, and this is how they thank him? First Normandy, then the Tour; Americans are getting tired of bailing out these ungrateful, lazy cowards.
And I do not follow the whole war thing. I never hear you mention gratitude for the French bloclade that made the battle of Yorktown a success and helped your country become independent. If I remember my history more Frenchmen died there than Americans (I may be wrong, I am sure someone will correct me on that one)!
In any event, I doubt that the Equipe is out to get Armstrong because he is American. They may be out to get him as seven time TdF winner. And, for the record, I find it rather fishy that the Equipe was able to connect the test samples to Lance... so I am not an automatic Armstrong hater!
And please, I am not trying to offend anyone, so let us not let things degenerate into insults!
