Rubbish. The French worship multiple Tour winners. Armstrong's achievement is widely admired in France and he is widely adored. They would love to see a Frenchman manage this feat, but very few of them begrudge a man of any nation doing what Armstrong has done.

I opened this thread mistakenly thinking it was about the French being a BETTER nation, which quite frankly they are.

So why are they so keen to try and expose him as a drugs cheat ?
