The Associated Press Friday, August 5, 2005; 11:00 PM 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
physically searched Armstrong himself and found several other interesting
items that they have never seen before, including a backbone and a testicle.
