Tour de France President Insults Armstrong

If I was Lance Armstrong, I would be rather angry about the comments that came from the president of the Tour De France. Lance Armstrong was one of the best things that has ever happened for that race. He won seven times in a row and has done so with class. He made a fan out of me. My question is why they continue to not show him respect? What Armstrong did athletically and for the sport of cycling as a whole was nothing short of extraordinary. My only thought on the matter is that he was an embarrassment because no European could match him.
