It’s official: Lance Beats French Again and Is Completely Vindicated
Below are the facts as laid out in newly released report commissioned the International Cycling Union on allegations that Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs during his first win in 1999.
1. Most importantly, Armstrong is cleared of all allegations of steroid use as was widely reported in the French media.
2. The tests on urine samples were conducted improperly and fell so short of scientific standards that it was “completely irresponsible” [for the WADA, the French laboratory, the French Ministry of Sport, L'Equipe, and the Tour de France organizers to] suggest they “constitute evidence of anything.”
3. The French laboratory that handled the samples and the World Anti-Doping Agency “violated applicable rules on athlete confidentiality by commenting publicly on the alleged positive findings.”
Sorry France looks like Lance just whipped you yet again. You should be used to it by now.

are too busy trying to have sex with all the women in the arena. 4. France has not lost strong, brave athletes to wartime victories in 190 years. 3.
