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.

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.

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.
