The three substances found were toothpaste,deodorant, and soap which have been banned by French authorities for over75 years.Armstrong's girlfriend and American rocker Sheryl Crowe is quoted as saying"we use them every day in America, so we naturally thought they'd be okthroughout Europe."Along with these three banned substances, French authorities also foundseveral other interesting items that they have never seen before, includinga backbone and a testicle.
