Close, Chris, but the quote is about the dutch, not the french. Excellent reference, however.

Here's a riddle for ya: How many French soldiers does it take to defend Paris?

Nobody knows; it's never been done.

Bousquet is AWESOME. Dude seems like such a great guy - far from the tattooed muscle head I kinda assumed he was a couple years ago. France is awesome as well, btw - you guys ever been? Paris is otherworldly.

"I don't like french"...So Conner Andrews you don't like me?? haha

What the hell do you have against us?
Just because of an awkwardness from Bernard, exit of its context and too much advanced by journalists??
I don't wanna have an argument, i just wanna know what the hell do you have against us and if it's because of one person do you think all the french are like this guy??
be open minded dude!
Whatever congratulation freddy, AND CONGRATULATION PHELPS for your meeting et for all you have done for this sport (yes i'm french but i can congratulate guys of others country without a "but i don't like this the habitants of this country"

no, you don't understand, the patches wear off after only a few minutes, everyone else had their suits on for a long time so they were coming down from their high and swam slower...DUH! Also, the creepy flesh colored suit with the white crotch area (that isn't a joke they actually come like that) actually makes you swim like you weren't wearing anything at all therefore slowing you down MY LOGIC IS UNDENIABLE.

Take it easy Peter_Gallick (if that is your real name) obviously I don't think that there is a suit that lets you dope...or do I

I'm not a fan of the rest of the french sprinters, but Fred just seems like the man

btw- i think 6 or 7 of the swimmers in that 50 final were wearing a Jaked, but Fred was the only one who went 21.33...so if the Jaked suits are magic, why didn't everybody else go 21 low? Could it be that no matter what technology exists, it still comes down to the swimmer inside the suit?

If you watch the race, he points to his suit afterward like he is implying that it is all the suit (I'm not saying the guy is not the best in the world, just restating the tired old remarks about how the suit is changing the sport blah blah blah). Maybe the Jaked suits are just huge external epinephrine patches, giving you a huge boost when you put it on, I like this theory!

Son séjour à Auburn lui va de mieux en mieux. Je suis impressionée par sa course et... son anglais, son accent, qu'il maitrise vraiment bien pour un Français.
