PARIS, France -- 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."
Along with these three banned substances, French authorities also found
several other interesting items that they have never seen before,
including a backbone and testicles.
