    Was it like the Tour de France nonsense of a few years ago where some
    French media persons, in a car, ran some non-French competitors off the
    road?

    I hadn't heard about that, but I remember the controversy in 2005 when Lance Armstrong was accused of cheating by using steroids to enhance his performance.

    Yes, and it was more than "accused". He was found guilty of that,
    and eventually admitted it all publicly. Banned for life and all
    titles he won stripped from his record.

    I am a little surprised you did not. They were even showing footage of it during other non-bicycling sports events. They may have been just fans,
    but they ran a bunch of guys off the road and into a fence.

    And sued by the second-place finishers, if I'm not mistaken, for lost revenues.
