[img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] France is simply jealous because they don't have any cyclists who can equal Lance's performance.
There was a show on Discovery Health about Lance and his training. They have him sleep in a room with a nitrogen-rich atmosphere to increase the production of red blood cells; this has resulted in a dramatic increase in the effiency of his breathing--Lance gets more oxygen and muscular performance from a normal breath than we do. Strength training and muscle toning exercises don't hurt, either.
This is so typical of many people who aren't number one/the best. Rather than training harder or trying harder (or being satisfied with doing the best they can already do) they try to destroy the person who outperforms them.
