Lance Armstrong's 20-minute shower last month may be getting him into more hot water.
The French anti-doping agency, AFLD, said Thursday it may go ahead with disciplinary hearings against Armstrong for allegedly violating international anti-doping rules by leaving a French out-of-competition drug tester cooling his heels while Armstrong took a shower after a training ride.

The aroma of chickenshit is all over this deal. I have a hard time seeing Lance Armstrong as a victim, but it appears that he is going to be pushed and needled (literally and figuratively) at every turn. Even if he broke protocol by taking a shower, it's not like he could wash off the contents of his hair, blood and urine.

Just let the guy race his bike.
