i dont think he is saying that. but they have singled lance out. of course more euros have been booted, look at the ratio of US to euros. but i will have to agree that i think the french hate to see a non french win, especially an american, perhaps more when lance first started winning. look at how many french teams have been let in under the wild card. they should have let that us team in(cant think of the name) years ago but opted for french teams that were not as good, that us team ended up folding, perhaps becasue they did not get in and their sponsors backed out.
what i dont get is that they accuse LA of doping because he has won the tour so much, but they do not take into account that he trains SPECIFICALLY for the tour and he does not win that much outside of the tour. if they are basing his doping on how much he wins, why hasnt someone accused eddie merckx of doping? he won all year long. no one has ever been able to maintain that kind of condition all year long.
if i were lance, i would offer to let an official spend 24/7 with me, he can even watch as i take a dump if that will prove that i am clean.
i have read that they will not take anything that has been opened, can you blame them.
