Yer telling me....oi!

Lemond is a bitter old retired hack at this point who hates anyone who takes any of his limelite. I don't trust him much to say the least.

Wait.....what?

Sorry for the swear word, this stuff just keeps getting stranger and stranger.

Just think of Lemond's head exploding if Lance ever started a bike company (which would immediately be bought by Trek, who would turn Lemond into a parts company).

Remember when he kept telling Lance to "tell the truth, quit hiding?"

The thing is, Lemond bikes are a part of Trek, much in the same way as Bontrager. I have a Lemond Zurich, and it's essentially a rebadged Trek, with some upgrades in the tubes.

Their new carbon bikes are a different mold/etc. Was just making a joke about Bontrager...

And seriously, "Will," use a freaking pay phone if you're going to prank someone for f***'s sake!

who would have ever thought the phrase " hide the weenie" would ever be used in an article on doping

[James]

How evil does Floyd look here? Damn!

Uncle Ron?? Hollywood can't write better drama than this. The real qestion is does lemond have any credibility or is he just trying to get attention and take away from other american cycling champions??

That's the big question...
Maybe a little of both?

i did happen to meet Floyd at the Tour De Georgia. Very approachable guy. Not sayin that has any bearing on wether he doped or not ...just sayin he was nice to a schlub like me.

Wow, guilty of doping or not, Floyd has just lost a lot of credibility in my eyes. Whatever else he did, it's pretty clear he INSTANTLY called his manager and repeated the abuse story. Also pretty clear the manager - a close advisor - is a stupid, low-life scumbag, which goes against Floyd's ability to judge character.

so Floyds manager called Lemond, the question is what did he really say??

(it really seems to me Lemond likes to make crap up to make other usa cycling greats look like dopers)

[LordOpie]

Seems to me that the only "evidence" so far is that Landis fired his manager.
