Anquetil and the rise of drugs

He won the tour 5 times, the last in 1965, seeming to improve with
age.

Anquetil took the hour record in 1956. He broke his own record 11
years
later but it was disallowed because he refused a drug test.

About drug testing, he said: "You can't ride the Tour de France on
mineral water"

Thanks for getting it all wrong. The peloton will shortly be riding
past his memorial http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...8_Anquetil.jpg
If I'm not mistaken, the inscription is inspired by the one on the
Pantheon.

His last tdf win was 64, I did get that wrong.

But what else? I double check it all after your claim.

I think the reason why he said that was because mineral water made him burp
a lot. I personally prefer "sans gas" when I'm riding.

Is there another inscription on the back side? "The world-renowned
cyclist" doesn't seem literary enough to have been inspired by anything.

Based on true events,

Your translation is incorrect. The inscription says: "A Jacques
Anquetil, le monde cycliste reconnaissant". The Pantheon inscription
is: "Aux grands hommes, la patrie reconnaissante".

Ilan - how about an educated translation? To me that looks simply like
"Recognizing The World Cyclist" which I'm sure doesn't make a whole lot of
sense.

I can't think of a direct translation for the word "reconnaissant".
The best I can do is: "To Jacques Anquetil, the cycling world
recognizes your achievements and is grateful." The same for the
Pantheon with Anquetil - great men, cycling world - nation.
