Why? The race is international, not between the United States and France, and although the United States and France have tense relations, France is far from the most antiAmerican country in Western Europe (that title could go to the Spanish and the Greeks, though Greece could only have been made a part of Western Europe so that Western Europe could grab some hold on having an advanced ancient history. in that case, the Spanish are probably the most antiAmerican Western Europeans).

Mainly because us and France have a long history of teasing each other, that is all really. All in fun.
Plus, I agree with what others have said, we shouldn't rush to judgement until we know more about the test.

You really don't have to ask that question, after the years of harassment Armstrong tolerated, right?

As an American citizen I could care less about two-bit European "powers".

Yahoo or should it be bravo!! The French do love us and respect us they have their own little red wagon to pull as we do ours! And they have an over abundance of testosterone! Why do you think they have their mignonette liaisons? They use up all their testosterone on their ladies and are too interested in making love to have any testosterone left or to win wars!!!
