"The French people I know are pompous <substitute for donkeys>. They cannot accept that an American with one ball can dominate their sport."

LOL - That's the best quote I've heard to date and it sums it up very nicely...

enduro: Give it up. If you know as much about cycling as you suggest, then you know that Lance has been "dirty" for his entire career. The "sport' has many cheats, and since he is the most visible to the passing interest of Americans, he is the only one you've heard of, hence you feel that he is being picked on. As for the comment about WW II, it belies your lack of knowledge of the French Underground, so may I suggest that you, dragyn, guyfro, irrational_1, and sirman spend some time reading first hand accounts of the French Resistance, while your over-sized but severely damaged egos heal.

I know quite a bit about cycling and the doping problem. I also know that Armstrong high profile has made him a target and yet he has always tested clean. It is a certain group of French and one British journalist that have been trying to smear his name.

endurorob: You amazingly ignorant loon! Did you read the part where it stated: "French doctors say they tested Armstrong's hair, urine and blood in a March 17 test. They say they found no traces of drugs"!! That means there was nothing in his blood and nothing has been in his body for the entire time his hair has been on his body. Read a little...

What are you talking about? Did I say he was doping? You have me very confused here.

I am of French descent, but a citizen of the US. In my eight or so travels over there, I have not caught any negative drift toward Americans. However, they do seem to hold our "coffee" (cafe with water) against us, and, for years now, Lance's outstanding performances.

This from a country that holds Lourdes as its seeming national miraculous shrine. Why can they not accept Lance's recovery? Why are they so dead set against his being the champion of "their" sport? It seems we have revelled behind French tennis players, bikers, soccer stars, and certainly fashion, food, and wine. Oh, and, we bailed them out of wars.

True, they did try to warn us against Viet Nam, Afghanistan, and Iraq---we were too proud in those instances. NOw, it is time for them to readjust their own pride, and honor the individual who has conquered the greatest athletic feat in the world, full of stamina, strategy, and excitement.

You French people seem to be nothing but people haters. You have a beautiful country with poop crumb people and attitude.

[mollydtt]

France--give it up. We know you hate him and you have been trying your darnedest to find some excuse to attack him.

This is joke. France is a joke.
