Forget the fact that he's a self confessed drug cheat and liar. He's an awful human being. The way he treated people like Frankie and Betsy Andreu, Emma O'Reilly, the Lemonds etc. is unforgivable. He's a nasty piece of work and I for one will not be listening to anything he has to say.
Oh, poor Betsy. She waged a feud against Lance for more than ten years because her plan to get Frankie a salary increase resulted in him not getting a contract extension, and she is upset she might have gotten the worse of it. She is still at it. She along with her BFF, Kathy LeMond, spent last year spreading lies that Lance used a motor.
And then there is LeMond, whose ego was so wounded about not getting credit as America's OG cyclist that he made up a bullshit story about using his knowledge of exercise physiology to figure out that Lance was doping. He could not come forward to say he knew everyone in top twenty was doping because that was the way it was when he was racing, that was the way it was before he was racing, and that was the way it was after he retired from racing. But that wold have opened up questions about him and his own era instead of blaming everything on Lance. Funny how he continues to maintain omerta about everyone he raced against and supposedly stole victories from him; he refuses to say one ill word about any of them. LeMond deliberately picked a fight with Lance and he wants sympathy for it.
