The governing body said the fine was for “unseemly or inappropriate behaviour during the race and damage to the image of the sport”.
Damage to the image of the sport?! The one that constantly has people cheating and being stripped of their medals? Oh yeah, wouldn’t want to ruin that!
Remember when they stripped Lance of his win, and they were going to award it to the next place finisher who didn’t also cheat, but they didn’t have one?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
They have no imagination when it comes to cheating in the Tour de France these days. Now, it’s all performance enhancing drugs. But back in the good old days-
“They would trail a thin piece of wire right behind a motor car, which, at one end, had a cork fixed on to the end of it,” Cossins explains. “And the rider would wedge the cork between his teeth. And then get towed along with this thing, this wire, pulling him along.”

“And this year’s prize for the best pharmacist goes to…”

He was supposed to kiss his mistress.

How dare you promote love during a race you shameless piece of shit. The bicycling community will not recover from this for decades.
You’d think they would be cool with kissing, seeing as they are all wearing Lycra already…
They need to fine the finer for the same thing.
Yeah I saw them kissing the guy’s wife too
His wife might have had a performance enhancing drug on her tongue
It’s called love and it makes people go mad
Where was he kissing her?
On the veranda.
Well, obviously, someone should have asked Veranda if she was OK with that.
😱 dear god no!
On the mouth
A proper frenchman would never kiss his wife, only his mistresses!
I would never pay this fine. How can they even enforce this?
By barring you from future races?
Withhold from team winnings.
They fined him in Francs? WTF?
I guess the Tour De France likes their Swiss money
Not the French one lol
And in one response, he reinforces the stereotype of French men as romantics and makes all the rest of us look like slackers.
Bravo!
The french hate kissing /s
