Cyclist fined for kissing wife during Tour de France

I don't know much about cycling, I assume she was passing a large amount of performance-enhancing substances directly into his mouth?
- 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?
Strange. All of the commentators I saw were talking about how that was one of the best moments so far. "What cycling is all about". I believe he was passing through his home town during the first time trial stage and received a huge welcome. He slowed down to wave and receive his welcome and kiss his wife. UCI is going overboard.
Haha, that's rich coming from a French org.
- It’s not his mistress, that would have been acceptable
UCI doing bullshit? I'm soooo surprised.
They were just jealous that the race was not the most important thing in his life.
