In France, Little Surprise at Lance Armstrong’s Looming Doping Sanctions

While some French cycling professionals welcomed the US Anti-Doping Agency’s announcement that Lance Armstrong could be stripped of his Tour de France titles and banned from the sport, others feel that this is a sad day for cycling and a let down for Armstrong’s fans.

Doping allegations have long dogged Lance Armstrong in France and Fabrice Jouhaud, managing editor for L’Equipe, France’s largest daily sports newspaper-says the news has not surprised anyone there.

He tells anchor Marco Werman his paper published its first doping report on Armstrong almost seven years to this day.
