Lance Armstrong's record setting seventh Tour de France victory, along
with his entire Tour de France legacy, may be tarnished by what could turn
out to be one of the greatest sports scandals of all time.

Armstrong is being quizzed by French police after three banned
substances were found in his South France hotel room while on vacation after
winning the 2005 Tour de France. The three substances found were toothpaste,
deodorant, and soap which have been banned by French
authorities for over 75 years.

Armstrong's girlfriend and American rocker Sheryl Crowe is quoted as
saying "we use them every day in America, so we naturally thought they'd
be ok throughout Europe."

Hehehe.... I thought this was funny. Lance is innocent. Leave the poor guy alone.
