I think he was too. Back during one of the trials for Landis, Lance Armstrong came out and said his uncle molested him as a child, a secret he had shared with Landis. Landis's manager called Armstrong the night before he was to testify at Landis's trial and allegedly said, "if you testify against Landis, I'll tell the world you were molested by your uncle". So, Lance put it out there himself to take that power away from Landis. Now, of course Landis denied telling his manager to threaten Lance and even fired his manager immediately but the fact remains, why did Landis's manager even know the story, Lance told Landis that in confidence.

CHECK YOUR FACTS.

It was not Lance Armstrong, it was Greg LeMond that had told him of abuse.

LeMond is an attention whore who is angered Lance has the all the fame.

If he is angered by the fame Lance has then his anger is misplaced. LeMond won the Tour De France three times, while Armstrong won seven times. There are four people that won it five times so why should LeMond even get the type of attention Armstrong gets?

If LeMond uses his anger to destroy the careers of other athletes then he is pathetic!

Sorry, you are right. The only fact I was trying to relay is that Landis is an azz.

Fame? Did you mean disgrace? I am sure LeMond wants none of what Landis has.


I have to correct myself again. I am sorry for the above post, I misread an earlier post. I am getting confused with all the L names, Landis, LeMond, Lance (Armstrong). I meant that Landis has been disgraced, is disgraced and is a disgrace. That should make my point clear as mud.
