If I rode a Lemond bike I would cut it up and throw it away. I think this guys ego as taken a hit because he not the "Greatest American Cyclist" to ever live and he wants to bring down Armstrong and Landis to regain that title. I loved watching him throughout his career and I still feel his 1989 World Championship was perhaps the greatest race ever but he needs to shut up.

Today's proceedings sound like a circus. It's like someone rich died (the sport) and these people are all arguing about carving up the estate. They're all nuts. I grew up idolizing Lemond but he is a big doofus, even though he may be right. And it is very hard for me to believe that Landis and his team were all unaware that the manager threatened Lemond, which threat apparently happened and which was lame, lame, lame. Then, on top of it all, the panel won't even let Landis' lawyers cross-ex Lemond about his motive for lying.

If Greg wants to help, he should do so constructively and conistently rather than periodically trying to drop some bombshell that blasts his name across the headlines for a day or two. I agree, I wish he woudl just be quiet.

Sounds like Landis has hired henchman to break some knee caps.

Landis is a joke. So is Tyler Hamilton. I'm tired of their excuses.
