NEWS TO NOBODY, THE FRENCH JUST CAN'T STAND HEROES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE AMERICAN:
"The doping stink arose Thursday morning after French daily Le Parisien revealed that Annecy, France judge Philippe Drouet had opened a preliminary investigation into the alleged doping practices of Armstrong, detailed in the book "L.A. Confidential - The Secrets of Lance Armstrong."
"I invite [the court] to consult the results of my anti-doping tests," Armstrong said in reaction Thursday.
"I was tested 22 times in 2004 alone... I do not use -- and I have never used -- doping products," the American added, saying he was "sure to be vindicated" in the affair."
