Would he be deknighted if he were found to have doped or otherwise stripped of his TdF title?

I appreciate his contribution of style to the peloton.
That style of cravat has been on my hit list for months. :thumbup:

Funny one, but I'm thinking more Herme's 2012 Fall line.

Yes, I think he would lose his title. It's certainly happened to other people. But I can never understand why people accept these awards because IMO they don't deserve it. And it helps perpetuate the British 'class system'. Sir, Lord and Lady bullshit. If they can give it to Mick Jagger then they can give it to anyone. A self styled anti establishment figure who became just that; done next to nothing for charity despite his wealth; so presumably got it just for being famous.

isnt Beckham a 'sir' too?

probably it's more of a PR stunt, as it helps to recognize certain celebs as brits. for instance, many people think Rolling Stones are an american band ( yup.. :noidea: ) but on the other hand you cant mistake Sir Jagger for not being a brit.

During the Olympics opening ceremony I was appalled by all the American music the Brits were claiming as there own :lol:
That was a joke for those who woke up on the too serious side of the bed today

Love that pic of DeVlaeminck, but not surprised. He was always the coolest looking bike rider. Nobody comes close IMO.
