PARIS, France The Associated Press Friday, August 5, 2005; 11:00 PM --
 
Lance Armstrong's record setting seventh Tour de France victory, along with
his entire Tour de France legacy, may be tarnished by what could turn out to
be one of the greatest sports scandals of all time Armstrong is being
quizzed by French police after three banned substances were found in his
South France hotel room while on vacation after winning the 2005 Tour de
France.
 
The three substances found were toothpaste, deodorant, and soap which have
been banned by French authorities for over 75 years. Armstrong's girlfriend
and American rocker Sheryl Crowe is quoted as saying "We use them every day
in America, so we naturally thought they'd be OK throughout Europe."
 
Along with these three banned substances, French authorities also physically
searched Armstrong himself and found several other interesting items that
they have never seen before, including a backbone and testicles.
