It's a big Kabuki Dance of Mirrors. Reminds me of the relationship between Americans and the IRS, actually.
It really is...and been going on for many years and we don't know a quarter of the dance he has had to perform to not only survive but win. The great irony in all this...is the french have always been their own worse enemy. What they do only tightens Lance's resolve to train harder and win. I am more astounded that Lance hasn't been hurt by a french fan during a race in an effort to upset his dominance than caught cheating for using drugs.
