Only sad losers stay here and wallow in their misconceptions. The cheering for Lance was NOT in an American bar. I repeat- Lance has LOTS of fans in France, Trek sells lots of bikes to Lance wannabees- just like here. In France I got sick of the French defending him against me, because I think he's a lifetime cheater. In fact, most French cycling fans believe as we do; maybe he cheated but so did the rest and he beat then anyway, so there. Pépin, he's right- laisse tomber the poetry. And David, repeating a falsehood doesn't make it true- for you or George Bush. David, take a trip to France. Only sad losers stay here and wallow in their misconceptions.

Fine, it is a conscious choice to public make a fool of one's self. Doug, in France, Lance is a lying, cheating, arrogant horse's rear end for 99.99% of all French people. There is no debate here. If you were hanging in an American bar in France, yes, perhaps you may have encountered someone cheering for him. Pépin, in your place, I would not attempt to become a poet. You'd fail miserably. Now people, get your heads out of year rear end and see things clearly. enough of your misinformed nonsense! David Dear sad losers (Doug and Pépin)

Gentlemen,
We could have afforded you the benefit of doubt and assume you were not cretins, but you chose to erase all doubt and open your pie holes and spew inaccurate, meaningless dribble. Fine, it is a conscious choice to public make a fool of one’s self.

Doug, in France, Lance is a lying, cheating, arrogant horse’s rear end for 99.99% of all French people. There is no debate here. If you were hanging in an American bar in France, yes, perhaps you may have encountered someone cheering for him.

Pépin, in your place, I would not attempt to become a poet. You’d fail miserably.

Now people, get your heads out of year rear end and see things clearly. enough of your misinformed nonsense!

David

A child who loves stories with heroes. Your real world is made of storytellers and magicians. I pity you for being so scared in the dark. Stay in your dream.

The French LOVE Lance.. I've been in bars in France when Lance won, and EVERYONE cheered! Lance has TONS of fans in France. All this Lance hating bullshit sells stuff, papers and shit- BUT- the fact remains- Lance is SUPER popular in France. However- Bernard Hinault is a world-class jerk who has never given any rider since himself any credit.

Then, m, you say Leslie Nielson? I see a national lampoon comedy in the making. Man, what a clown Lemond has reduced himself to. Simply a sad fall for the nut.

The ill effects of ego, plastered all over this sordid tale. Ah heroes; don't they all fall? Jordan (probably) lost his dad to a bad gambling debt. Enke, the German goalie, threw himself under a train. Darrell Strawberry rode a different rail outa town. Woods is tumbling now. LeMond jousts windmills of his own making. Like fans in all sports, we see the armor of our icons crack. The pressure of success makes men do many things, not all of them victories.
