No, he is not. Armstrong does not make the kinds of public
statements that LeMond makes. As for what either has done
there is no basis for refusing either the respect due to a
gentleman except for what LeMond has said. LeMond's long,
unbroken history of gratuitous attacks proves that he is
no gentleman.

Agree completely. I heard a long interview with him on radio about two
years ago, and I thought he was a petty, obviously jealous whiner. He also
made statements/accusations that he couldn't possibly prove.

Armstrong's a class act compared to Lemond.

Haha.

As opposed to you, who make statements that others can easily
disprove.

Hahahaha.

Mind you, we only know Greg by the statements he is quoted on. In my
experience, you cannot judge someone by the way they're being presented in
the media.

$2.5m at say $2.5k full retail value each, that's 1000 bikes. over 9

Not me, I like it when the Dow drops since I moved all my 401K money
to a money market last year as soon as the news broke about the mortgage
[censored]. I knew the fan was coming and now I'm laughing my ass off. As soon
as the market stops dropping and starts going up I'll move it all back into
stocks and clean up!

Ah a market timer! A sure losing strategy in the long run.

Greg LeMond has had long enough and enough experience
to be held responsible for his public statements. He
has been consistently disparaging. If he thinks he is
misrepresented in the media he has the choice to speak
well of others for public consumption.
