[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wanted to believe that he wasn't doping but all the REAL hardcore cyclists I know said he was. It's just impossible to win the Tour 7x without at least blood doping/EPO, hGH, steroids... Something. It's just way, way too hard. 
I'm glad Greg LeMond is the best American cyclist again.[/quote]

Yes.  And to all the people saying that [i]everyone[/i] in that level of cycling dopes: LeMond seems to be clean.  He has been through the ringer for calling out Armstrong and Landis.  
Here's an interview from 2008 that begins with the author describing his attack dog:   http://archive.mensjournal.com/greg-lemond-vs-the-world
[quote]It might seem odd to keep a lethal guard dog in the tranquil exurb of Medina, where the locals rarely get up to anything worse than foxhunting. But if you had the kind of enemies that LeMond has acquired over the last few years, you might consider getting some protection too. He has sued everyone from Tim Blixseth, the billionaire who developed the Yellowstone Club, to various sponsors and business partners. He has tape-recorded phone calls with business associates and friends, and, [b]most famously, he’s tangled with Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis, the only other Americans to have won the Tour de France. LeMond was among the first to suggest that media darling Armstrong might have used performance-enhancing drugs, and he testified at Landis’s doping hearing last May,[/b] after a Landis associate threatened to publicly reveal that LeMond had been sexually abused as a child.

By refusing to keep quiet LeMond has created a massive rift in the sport he left nearly 15 years ago. The Lance/Landis camp derides him as a “whiner” who’s jealous of all other American Tour winners and who may have even used blood boosters himself, while the pro-LeMond camp worships him as the greatest champion of all. “I’ve received death threats,” he says. “I’ve had people say I should have my teeth kicked out. I’m a lightning rod for everybody.”[/quote][/quote]
