Villains and innocents
Article Abstract:
The Tour de France bicycle race held in Aug 1998 was ruined by drug scandals but such incidents are not new to professional cycling. The Tour, however, re-invigorated the national mood of France and was the focus of hundreds of commentaries. Sport is part of the global community and the Jul 1998 World Cup soccer final was an indication of this fact, as more people witnessed this event than any other in the history of sports.
