    "He didn't take forbidden substances in order to win races. It's a
    private affair. But Boonen is a great and emblematic champion. He has
    to behave in an irreproachable way." This is the explanation for ASO's
    banning of Tom Boonen: http://www.fry.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2008/jun08/jun12news

    This is also completely inconsistent with French custom, where people
    can pretty much do anything they want in their private life, it won't
    affect them in their profession. For example, Bill Clinton is a hero
    in France because of the Lewinski affair.

    What's the world coming too when the froggies are as puritanical as
    the yankee pigdogs? Oh wait, the guy's name is Prude-[censored]. And
    there's a lot wrong with that.
