Incredible

We’re not sure if this helps, Mourad.

An investigation has been launched by the French Agency for Fight Against Doping (AFLD), following two years of background work into the activities of reigning European Cup champions Toulon.

Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal instantly dismissed the allegations, and today the club’s official Twitter account posted an image of their president with Toulon’s recent trophies.

An image in honour of one Lance Armstrong posted upon being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles in 2012 after being found guilty of using performance enhancing drugs.

“As Lance Armstrong with his yellow jersey, our President poses lying on a sofa with trophies,” the message reads.

No doubt Boudjellal’s tongue was firmly planted in his cheek as the image was posted on social media.
