Reason #7391 why we love the French: Their national sports minister ins’t some rumpled, over-weight functionary who’s been on the cocktail circuit too long. Or related in some way to UCI president Patrick McQuaid.
No, the French minister for sport is Chantal Jouanno who is beautiful and stylish and perhaps once a mistress for President Sarkozy— because being forced to listen to old Carla Bruni records does get tiring. Sarkozy is not only a big cyclist and race fan, he know a hot minister when he sees on.
Chantal has a black belt in karate, she was champion in her age group twelve times — which means that once she makes a pronouncement about sports, she can back it up.
This week the sassy Chantal said she believed Lance Armstrong took performance enhancing drugs and that he should admit the dirty deed. Lance, do not challenge her to an arm wrestling match or something, she’ll kill ya.
In any case, she also slips into the black lingerie for some sports talk in Le Playboy. Because this is France and anyway everybody likes a good brassiere.
I dont care if she's a black belt. I'm extremely angry that she has made such an outrageous remark without any form of evidence what so ever. I now have a passionate hatred for Chantal Jouanno!
But Ed, what if she took all her clothes off? How would you feel then? Matt
Well that might be a slightly different story, but for now i'm still mad.
Clothes or no clothes (prefer her with no clothes myself), I think she hit it with her comments and I bet she knows something is up, hence the lack of reply from anyone she mentioned. This story is far from over and when the heads roll she'll still be sitting pretty.
Yup. A head will roll but hers is far too pretty for that. Matt
