Sad that some people feel that this is a fair race. The frogs have been against Lance for years now.
Proof? Hope that the BBC is good enough...

Notice that NO ONE other than the leading American was given this warning.

Armstrong given dope test warning
TOUR DE FRANCE
Date: 4 July - 26 July
Lance Armstrong
Armstrong has made a comeback in search of an eighth Tour victory
France's sports minister has said Lance Armstrong will be "particularly monitored" in anti-doping checks at this year's Tour de France.
Roselyne Bachelot said the seven-times winner, who has come out of retirement to compete and has always denied taking banned substances, would be watched.
"He will be particularly, particularly, particularly monitored," she said.
The head of France's anti-doping agency says the American would be treated like anyone else when it came to dope tests.
In recent years, the world's most famous cycling race has been blighted by numerous doping incidents, and the International Cycling Union plans more than 500 tests during this year's race in an effort to alleviate the problem.
"There needs to be a really very, very active fight against doping," said Bachelot.
"The organisers know how much a positive doping test could have harmful effects."
