French Swimmers Love Cocaine
That's the allegation in a new book by Amaury Leveaux, who won gold in the 100m relay at the 2012 London Olympics. This quote is gold: "Some of us wouldn't spit at a little line of coke from time to time. For others it's not just a little line, it's a complete motorway covered in white powder which they zoom down at top speed."
Just When You Think You've Heard Everything Possible About Tim Tebow...
