True caption for Lance Armstrong photo-A Rantburg Exclusive
This photograph of orange-clad baboons greeting hero-bicyclist Lance Armstrong ran yesterday on wire services all over the world. The caption alleges that the rude spectators are fans of the Basque National Team.

As usual, there has been a cover-up. I have just Bergerized the Reuters headquarters in Tehran London and located the original caption:

"Hey, it was either that or our [deleted] and those weren't big enough or stiff enough" said Mohammed Ma'eek Al-Moor (left) as French paramedics tended his lacerated hand.
