Can someone sort out the biography please?

Needs more on his involvement in the Armstrong affair. I don't know anything about cycling, and that small text was so POV that I just deleted it. --Shanel 03:06, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

I also removed the link to his rider's page. It no longer works.--Shanel 03:08, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the cleanup. The obscure reference to the Armstrong affair is due to User:82.224.88.52, who made an incorrect extrapolation based on a French article. There are probably still a few pages which this user modified and still contain the incorrect extrapolation. Julius.kusuma 14:44, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks too for the cleanup difficult to do my myself because I'm not english-mother-tongued. BTW, my extrapolation below was actually an interpolation not from a French but actually from a... Belgian ;-))) newspaper. 82.224.88.52 09:11, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

• 11th overall-Tour de France
• During few days the following month, Moreau was wrongly accused in the Armstrong affair being positive alongside with Zulle and Olano. BTW, he was indeed fourth in the Prologue (first stage) in Tour de France 1999 but les règlements de l'UCI obligent le gagnant à se présenter à ce contrôle, mais les autres ne sont pas forcément ses suivants immédiats, Zülle (très apathique, nous semble-t-il, pour quelqu'un qui apprend que celui qui l'a battu, au classement final du Tour de France quand même, usait de substances interdites améliorant la performance), Olano et Boardman en l'occurrence. not among the four people tested because Boardman (fifth) as well as Lance Armstrong and the two others were tested but not Christophe.

[edit] Does this belong in the article

...However, in the big tours and the classics, he generally did not fight for the win.

In their joint interview, retired French rider Laurent Jalabert and Spanish team manager Manolo Saiz both accused Moreau of being an overpaid but underachieving racer, whose entire season usually revolves around trying to be the highest-placed Frenchman on the Tour de France General Classification.
