The Wolves of L'Equipe

L'Equipe’s editor is a joke. Saying that the publication would have behaved the same toward a French rider is just ludicrous. Is he saying that NO French rider has EVER used performance enhancing drugs? If that is not what he is saying, then why have there been no accusations of French riders made by his paper. The French sports press needs to grow up. They need to “get over” the fact that an American has defeated cancer and become the most prolific cyclist in the history of the sport. I don’t want Lance to come out of retirement. His children deserve that he keep his promise to them. However, there is a part of me that wishes he would win not just 1 more Tour de France, but 3 more – you know, really wipe it in their faces. Of course, for him it would mean even more voracious feeding frenzies by the wolves of L’Equipe. The decision is Lance’s, but if he asked for my vote…

Let the wolves starve.
