As far as I know they 'ejected' themselves.

Cofidis officials, announced they will forgo their right to ask for analysis
of a 'B' sample, also accepted the Tour's "invitation" to withdraw from the
race, becoming the second team in 24 hours to exit France's national tour.

Anquetil won the Tour five times in the idyllic era that doping was
still
allowed.

Benjo


Anquetil was like Armstrong, we will never know in fact. it doesn't
matter but since armstrong American team that went in Europe to compete
have a very very bad reputation, they seem all junkies and snob

Of course they have a bad reputation - they never tested positive
Both were.
Poulidor never, as I know.
It explain why, the french hated Anquetil so much, and Poupou was so
popular :
"Toute sa carrière sera marquée par cette apparence de mépris et de
dédain, source d'un malentendu effroyable qui a prononcé le divorce entre
le public et lui, un public qui le siffle à l'arrivée du Tour 1961. Mais
Anquetil encaisse en silence, et reçoit les coups où la pudeur, la
modestie et la timidité prennent toute la place, là où il n'y a aucune
trace de dédain"



unlike the
French teams.




really?i dont know i thing it's just differet; in euorpe we prefered geg
lemon while on tthe ouher seain usa, they pefer armtong. perhaps because
whey are as snob like kim about european?
