I love how people say this. Greg started accusing Lance of doping after his third tour win. If Lance would have admitted it we would have lost millions of dollars of future earnings, no way anyone admits they were doping in this scenario.

Greg’s accusations soured his relationship with Trek and they dropped his line and sued him because he was threatening their business, and he didn’t do it just once, he kept doing it. In the end Greg was right and Lance was doping, but he didn’t have any proof at the time and his accusations was hurting Trek’s business model.

I’m supposed to believe Greg is the only clean tour winner in half a century, and Lance tried to destroy him. Nah, it’s more likely Greg was jealous because he became a distant second at Trek and he knew everyone was doping on the tour because everyone was doping when he was winning tours. He knew better than most the odds of winning the tour without doping were infinitesimally small. To be honest, Greg’s actions have convinced me he was doping when he won, it’s the only thing that makes sense.
