LeMond finally triumphs...

This was tougher than his two Tour victories but Greg LeMond has
finally re-achieved his goal as the only American to win the Tour de
France. Took more than a decade of work and 8 DQ's to finally
succeed. And before it all shakes out, Greg maybe the last legitimate
winner of the tdf, of any nationality.

Or alternatively there might *never* have been any legitimate winners.

Actually Greg won THREE Tours - 1986, 1989 and 1990! Further, some say he "doped" during his miracle 1989 season....say it ain't so Greg! Good Luck!

Did he win the Tour after taking the backside of buckshot from his brother-
in-law? That would be pretty amazing.

It ain't over until all the lawyers get paid on their final invoices.
This could drag on for years.

Greg Lemond fits the doper profile.
His father-in-law could have orchestrated Greg's sudden return to
form, mid-Giro, with or without Greg's knowledge or consent.

Unfortunately, there are no frozen samples to test, for Greg Lemond.

So we will never know-- but, those who really really want to can
BELIEVE. And that is what is important, believing in "legitimacy".

And yet, even if offered any imaginable enhancement, none of
us could outclimb him.

No sh**. I was racing NorCal when LeMond was coming up through the ranks. It was mind-blowing to see the kid ride, and I seriously doubt he was doping as a junior, if ever. With that said, when you get into the ranks of the freakishly good -- say Hinault versus LeMond or Armstrong and Contador (at their peaks), the guy with better drugs probably will win a month long stage race. I ride better with a couple of Tylenol. No telling how fast I could finish up a leisurely ride if I were doing EPO -- probably get all the weeding done, too.
