Sunday, July 07, 2024

The French rider Julien Bernard has been fined 200 Swiss francs for stopping during the time trial on stage seven of the Tour de France to kiss his wife and two-year-old son. Bernard said he'd gladly pay the same fine every day. "On a time trial, you have time to enjoy yourself. It's these moments that keep me going and cycling," he said.

All kinds of weird sexual behavior is allowed.... and encouraged... in France. Except for kissing your wife....

France had a bill discussed in their parliament (was it passed?)... that effectively legalized pedophilia.

But kissing wife and son.... heavens will fall. LOL

" But kissing wife and son.... heavens will fall"

Except ... France didn't fine him. The International Cycling Union did.
