Now the French are condemning Lance Armstrong for taking a prescribed steroid when he was dyeing from brain cancer:

Lance Armstrong admitted he has taken the performance-enhancing drug erythropoietin (EPO) at the time he was treating his cancer, French daily Le Monde reported on Friday.

“According to new testimonies gathered from October 2005 to January 2006 by a court in Dallas, the seven-times Tour de France winner told a Indiana University Hospital doctor on October 28, 1996 he has taken performance-enhancing drugs,” Le Monde said in a report to be published later on Friday.

“The doctor questioned him on a possible use of doping products after his brain surgery in order to prescribe his post-surgery treatment.

This is just pathetic.  Taking a prescribed steroid during a fight against cancer is not the same as him taking a steroid while competing during the Tour de France.  Every allegation the French throw at Lance gets shot down which was evident by allegations made against him before this latest one:

French sports daily L’Equipe reported last August that it had access to laboratory documents and that six of Armstrong’s urine samples collected on the 1999 Tour showed “indisputable” traces of the blood-boosting drug erythropoietin.

Dutch lawyer Emile Vrijman, a former director of the Netherlands’ national anti-doping agency, was appointed by the UCI last October to investigate the allegations.

Vrijman, who led the probe, said the World Anti-Doping Agency and the French national doping laboratory had effectively pronounced Armstrong guilty of a doping violation without sufficient basis.

WADA chairman Dick Pound rejected the Vrijman report as “bordering on the farcical.”

Yes “farcial” just like this latest accusation.
