Report exonorates Armstrong of doping
2006-05-31
Dutch investigators cleared Lance Armstrong of doping in the 1999 Tour de France on Wednesday, and blamed anti-doping authorities for misconduct in dealing with the American cyclist.

A 132-page report recommended convening a tribunal to discuss possible legal and ethical violations by the World Anti-Doping Agency and to consider "appropriate sanctions to remedy the violations."

#10  Let's clarify something quickly here, before the local lightning knocks me off the Internet. There are actually three classes of Frenchmen: Amis (JFM, 5089), Phrench (common French inhabitants) and Gaulists (utter dispized swine exemplified by our "good buddy" Jack "Crazy" Chirak and Dominique de Villipan (who might possibly be a man, who knows).

#8  It just has to kill the whole EU that the worlds greatest cyclist is an American. It was bad enough when Greg Lamond won, now the sport is dominated by American. Then if that bitch slap was not enough, Lance is going to pick a commoner to replace him on the team! degrading the tour to a reality where the winner can race in the tour. This is really making my day!!!
