EPO, I love you!

Just in time for the tour,

PARIS (Reuters) - The French record label behind a hit single inspired by Zinedine Zidane's fateful head-butt on Italian defender Marco Materazzi at the soccer World Cup hopes to repeat the success with a dig at the Tour de France. The world's most famous cycle race starts in London on Saturday under the shadow of a series of doping scandals, and La Plage Records has come up with a song referring to a blood doping agent called "EPO Te Quiero" ("EPO I Love You") to lampoon the event. The song is an allusion to doping agent erythropoietin (EPO) and includes the chorus "EPO te quiero, grace a toi je serai numero uno" ("EPO I love you, thanks to you I will be number one") sang in Spanish and French. The accompanying video features composer Franck Lascombes dressed as a Mexican musician and riding a bicycle as he sings.
