Cycling’s governing body says the fine is for “unseemly or inappropriate behaviour”.

I don’t know much about cycling, I assume she was passing a large amount of performance-enhancing substances directly into his mouth?

French Kissing is notorious for passing objects between mouths. The French know this is fake intimacy - a real man would high five his wife. Or at most provide a brief hug. But prolonged contact? With a mucous membrane right after a sweaty sporting event? Disgusting. How could the French allow such unseemly behavior pollute cycling, the purest of all sports?

This is the new doping meta. It changes every few years.

Strange. All of the commentators I saw were talking about how that was one of the best moments so far. “What cycling is all about”. I believe he was passing through his home town during the first time trial stage and received a huge welcome. He slowed down to wave and receive his welcome and kiss his wife. UCI is going overboard.

It’s not his mistress, that would have been acceptable

They were just jealous that the race was not the most important thing in his life.
