not only has an independant dutch investigation completely exonerate lance armstrong of doping for the '99 tour de france but they suggest that charges be brought against the agency that accused him of it!
The 132-page report by Vrijman and his panel comes down firmly in favor of Armstrong, who has strenuously denied using banned substances.
It recommended convening a tribunal to discuss possible legal and ethical violations by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and to consider "appropriate sanctions to remedy the violations."

France hates America. They also hate Freedom and Apple Pie.

Good for Lance. I'm also glad it was a non-US panel that made the decision so there will be fewer cries of bias.
I hope he sues the hell out of the idiots that did this just because of their own personal jealousy

Yeah, good for him, but I hope he doesn't do this. What I'd rather happen is: we all stop talking about these silly rumours, and get back to discussing his amazing athletic achievements. They're what matter, and no amount of enquiries or evidence is going to dismiss the allegations completely, so better that we just got on with things.

That wouldn't do anything to them. He should win the Tour once more! ;)

Great news! That makes his wins even more amazing.
Although I think the accusations did hurt his reputation at the time and gave him a load of negative publicity that almost shit all over his monumental accomplishment, I hope he doesnt sue. He can be an even bigger man then.
He is an incredible athlete.

Well, to be fair, apple pie sucks.
The only reason the French hate Americans is because we infringed on their arrogant self-righteousness monopoly.

I don't think he should sue, but I would hope his publicists scream this from the mountain and demand a public apology.

That is true, apple pie does indeed suck. Personally I like berry pies, cherry or blueberry. Though it is nigh impossible to get better than warm blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream.

I wish somebody would tell me where to find this hatred. I was in Paris, Aix, and MontPellier and didn't find it.

Then you haven't been to Soissons.. that's where the hatred storage facilities are.
Also, Apple Pie > Other Pies.. (except at Thanksgiving and where otherwise noted).
