Lance Armstrong... greatest doper there was or ever will be

Why is he self righteous? He cares passionately about a sport that gave him a lot, both financially and personally. He has no commercial interests in the sport so doesn't have to toe the party line and he speaks out against doping at every opportunity. He should be hailed as a hero.

The pathetic argument that he is somehow jealous of Armstrong's success is yet more of the cynical PR Armstrong and his cronies put out to undermine the veracity of Lemond's arguments. Armstrong's attempted bullying of Lemond and attempts to damage his credibility and his business show Armstrong up for the unedifying cunt that he is.

I think Lemond comes across that way in that he attempts to take the moral high road while slandering Armstrong left and right... it doesn't exactly help that Lemond's diatribes about Armstrong are the only time he gets himself in the national news in the U.S.

You can say what you want, but I seriously doubt I'm the only American who views Lemond's continued inserting of himself into this issue as, at least in part, a misplaced attempt to put himself back in the limelight. If GL isn't trying to do this he needs some help on his message, it comes across really badly.

Don't get me wrong, I want to see GL's honorable intentions in all of this (somewhere I still have photos I took of Lemond and a few others when a race wound through my hometown).
