in a court of law. Greg Lemond has no power to throw anyone in jail, there fore he does not have to adhere to the same standard. He if is blantanly lying, he can be sued for liable.

I could come up with a detailed, descriptive story that could make it sound like Santa was on the grassy knoll in Dallas.

Lemond has been firing barbs at Lance for a long time - not sure how you missed that before now

Posted on 7/20/10 at 2:16 pm to hawkeye007
No, LeMond has hated Lance for over a decade. This fued is not new.

frick LeMond...
His shorts are all in a bunch because he's no longer the King of American cycling.
Armstrong did what he could never do - create excitement here about cycling. The sport grew exponentially due to Armstrong's success - I think that's what has gotten to him the most.
That...and his uncle.

i think he was dirty. maybe its just me loosing faith in most people in sports being honest about steriods in any form.
Posted on 7/20/10 at 2:44 pm to hawkeye007
Lemond has been a bitch for years about Lance

The dude came back from nut cancer and dominated the sport like nobody had in history--all while stickin it to those Frenchies. The other riders were juicing and couldn't touch this man who rose off his death bed to come all the way back from the brink. He's an American hero.

i am with you i really dont care if he did . its kind of like busting on a baseball player for juicing in late 90's.

I don't much like Lance. I think he's an arrogant douchebag who spent a good portion of his career bullying the peloton. I'm a cycling fan, but I don't love Lance. I tend to like the crazed climbers than the methodical planners. Give me Chiappucci, not Indurain. I know tactical guys tend to win, but God they are boring. I like a little panache.
OK, so that said, I think it is probable Lance blood doped like every other cyclist in the pro circuit. He was still awesome. I also believe that LeMond has probably done his share of questionable doping, given that doping in cycling goes back decades. Hell, Eddy Merckx is fairly open about using speed. If LeMond expects me to believe for one second that he raced in the only era of clean cycling,and won three Tours, then he's sorely mistaken.
I don't care. Blood doping is so complex that I'm not even that outraged by it. It's not steroids, it's essentially injecting oxygen in your blood. Lance did not win because he had the best chemist. He won because he was the best cyclist by a fairly wide margin.
