Long before Lemond blasted Armstrong for his association with Dr. EPO and test beater (Ferrari) he took a well needed poke at "up and coming" coach and lances coach, Chris Carmichael.

Here's it is ......

"He(Carmichael) would say "I am doing quantity and also quality." But you can't be doing 30 hours a week and still ride hard. I can tell you that I rarely did 30 hours a week, and that is what they are doing regularly."
Greg LeMond

I for one always liked Lemond.....really nice guy. I talked with him in person years ago. He also isn't afraid to "tell it like it is".
 
Now the full quote.....he he he

"He(Carmichael) would say "I am doing a lot of quantity and also quality." But you can't do both without drugs. You can't be doing 30 hours a week and still ride hard. I can tell you that I rarely did 30 hours a week, and that is what they are doing regularly."
