...French customs officials found banned substances in her car. Rumsas, who rode for Italy's Lampre team, has denied taking any illegal drugs.) While Virenque would credit his win in that stage to the cheering of the crowds, Armstrong heard little support for himself. "A boo is a lot louder than a cheer," said Armstrong. "If you have 10 people cheering and one person booing, all you hear is the booing...

After the shock there was the patriotism, and then the charges of jingoism that only grew louder as patriotic rhetoric turned into patriotic bombs during the offensive in Afghanistan.
