I swear he's just bitter because he has become irrelevant.

He should F ... off.

He's not a physician.

He's not in the sport now, and he's trying to act like some elder statesman.

However, he's now just being a doofus.

To me, even with a heightened testerone ratio, I don't believe he doped. Clean on 15 and 19, but somehow dirty on 17 for a naturally occurring substance, doesn't sound like something nefarious.

Greg has had it in for Lance for years. Now we've got a 3rd American winner and, true to form, LeMond comes out looking like a prick.

A prick, yes. Irrelevant, no. Every American rider owes LeMond some respect. That he's become a bitter man is sad, but I wouldn't call him irrelevant.

LeMond's problem is his French heritage. Why are we surprised that bitterness is in his veins?

Lemond has earned the right to be heard, a three time TdF winner who earned the right for other Americans to jump the Pond to compete. His opinions are shrill and only show his selfishness.

I wish somebody would ask this question, "Greg, it was rumored you and every other rider of your era doped, and now that some controls are in place, you still assume all are cheating as you did, why?"
