To be honest, the French are a bunch of America haters.....but that being said, the late 90's was the era of drug use in sports that will probably go down as the worst ever. I think he did use and I've felt that ever since the 60 minutes piece 2 years ago. At least in those first few, he was doped, as were apparently many other riders from the 99 test after the fact. So sadly, I believe he did. That isn't to say the was the French did this, with no B sample and in a newspaper along with slurs against Lance shows what scum they are. God forbid an American win this. Remember Lance is ranked #3 among their most hated athletes. Shumacher number 1 and the guy gives 10 million to charity. They hate winners....
