The French
I would just like to say that my tolerance of France and cycling is gone. Me and my girlfriend went to watch the tour in 2004. We stayed 3 weeks in France...
The French seem to want to sabotage cycling.....I guess for them it is NEWS and tabloid news to boot. They seem to value that more than cycling and I feel the best way for me to show my distaste is to not go visit....a boycott of France so to say....
My new favorite? The Giro! We will go visit and I will spend money there...

maybe you are referring to investigations of dopping? You make no references to whatever it is , that rocked your boat.Remember they investigaged their own Festina team with the same vengeniance they did any other team.
