He has nothing good to say about Lance or Floyd. I suspect he may have been doping, but because it was so long ago, they didn't have a test yet. I think the cycling community should boycott him and not buy any bikes from him. Just watched Larry King and he had Lance on and he stood up for Floyd, unlike Greg.

Lemond seems very bitter.
And plus, did you all see the all carbon bike that he produced and introduced this year? What a beast. Looks very unlike a pro level race bike. Just looks bad. Maybe he's bitter because of his 2 years, too late frame business that he has (which seems like it has no PR department- is it me? Maybe just no newsworthy issues?). I don't know.
But I agree. Armstrong in his interview was much more sympathetic, unlike Lemond who just gave the "...I'm king and everyone is beneath me..." stance.
Good riding to you all!

I don't hate him, I used to like him, but I am very disappointed by his condescending stance, showing no support for American cycling. He assumed that Lance was guilty with no proof, and now he does the same with Floyd. Does he think he is the pastor of cycling? "Just tell us the TRUTH Floyd, that's right let it out, tell us all about the doping. Tell papa Greg the truth, I know you had a press conference, but that was a lie wasn't it? Are you sure you are telling the truth, think hard?" He apparently needs some publicity for his bike company's lagging sales of wildly over priced bikes. Maybe Greg wishes he had been getting some sweet endorsement deals and more attention than he got back in the day. I

I don't hate the man but I don't understand his animosity toward Floyd or Lance. He seems bitter. It's quite possible he would have been the first American to win five Tours in a row if he had not been shot in that hunting accident. He also seems to believe he is beyond reproach but everyone else is guilty until proved innocent. I admire his accomplishments in the world of professional cycling, but I can't countenance his attitude.

I like Landis, and Lemond, but Not Armstrong. Armstrong is, and always has been a royal ******. I'll bet Lemond doped too, it's just that he's so far removed that he'd never get caught at this point.

They're all dopers, but Armstrong's the most successful doper,seven Tour de France victories & never been tested positive.Just like Barry Bonds,seven time MVP and no positive test.
Moral of the story, its ok to dope away, but don't get caught

I'm tired of hearing it from Greg myself. Everytime something happens there goes Greg running his mouth off like he knows something. Shut up Greg!!!
