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, American rocker Sheryl Crow, 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 and found several other interesting
items that they had never seen before, including a backbone and at
least one testicle.
