Wrong on both counts.
First, a USPS staff member was photographed dumping syringes in an unmarked car, so they are not entirely blameless. "those french assholes" consist of a couple of morons who shouted "doper" at him during one of last years mountain stages.
Second, most of the French fans like Lance. The criticism in past years has mostly centered around his aloof attitude with regards to the French press, not drugs.
This year he was given an award (a basket of oranges) for being the most accessible rider to the press.
