I love it! Lance fighting fire with fire! I have never really been a fan of Lance but the more LeMond talks, the more I want him to go away! Whatever Lances failings are - Greg is proving to be among the most bitter people I have ever heard. He has little room for anyone on the stage except himself... I reflect back to how he chased down his own teammate down, Jonathan Boyer in the 1982 Worlds. Thats seems to sum up what Greg is all about - Greg.

This is not going to end well. To the original poster: LeMond > Armstrong, around these parts. No matter what really happened to what and when.

What happened? You have evidence Lemond doped? You'd be the first. Please, break the story!

The OP's agenda is clear. It is simply the next wave of the defense. What a sick joke Armstrong is.

 

[hrotha]

This kind of threads would make for an excellent drinking game. Whenever someone says "bitter", you take a shot.

What happened? LeMond is the greatest American cyclist ever. (that felt good to get that off my chest)

lemond was never doped for christ sake. epo didn't start until 1992. and that was exactly when lemond and the colombians started to seriously fade away in the peloton and nobody's like ugrumov, bobrik and riis started to become climbers.

i wouldnt be surprised if LA and GLL are best friends and they will write book about this affair and earn a lot of money...i would

Cause only people who use EPO are doping right?

I'm not saying Lemond doped, and I never will say it because there's simple no proof, but just because EPO wasn't used in his time doesn't mean he didn't take other doping products.

epo yes,doping dates back to ??? (insert your thoughts),fausto coppi admited doping so its more like and old habit isnt it

who cares seriously the only doping that matters is epo. just look at the ridiculous change in the cycling landscape around 1992 when epo was introduced. this was before the 50% hematocrite rule so guys like riis rode with blood thicker than jelly.

+1.....umm blood transfusions are at the heart of the Flandis investigation too for example, and there are many others.

Then tell us your perspective.

yeah he used amphetamines. good luck racing harder from that.

But he inconveniently stopped using "them" as EPO use was rising, therefore ruining the end of his career?
Dumb, dumb Lemond

you do know that bloodtransfusions before even the 90s was like playing with your life right?? ever wondered why no cyclist ever or any sportsman was ever caught or admitted to doing that previous to the 2000s??

and besides if lemond was doped in the 80s then why didn't he go with the new doping epo in early 90s?? because he wanted to suck??

The sad thing is you actually believe that's the point of all this. Armstrong has told you, and you believe.

To be fair, the perceived health risk of using EPO was high when it was first introduced. A rider could be willing to take some PEDs but shy away from EPO due to health concerns.

Or he was simply too old to even compete on an equal basis even with EPO? And that hunting accident probably did some permanent harm as well, although that's just my assumption.

Look at the story of Tom Simpson. They doped with all kinds of stuff and it did help them ride better.

Oboy, this thread is a train wreck in the making.

Seriously guys, LA is simply loosing his cool. That's all.

and how many riders exactly died or got seriously injured around 1992 from these risks??
