French Kissing is notorious for passing objects between mouths. The French know this is fake intimacy - a real man would high five his wife. Or at most provide a brief hug. But prolonged contact? With a mucous membrane right after a sweaty sporting event? Disgusting. How could the French allow such unseemly behavior pollute cycling, the purest of all sports?
