I don't see how anybody can say LeMond is a jerk. He told the truth and stuck to it. The lance lovers must really really be hurt after their hero let them down. Having a REAL champion and a better PERSON they sullied for years be right must be too much to get over. Wow, true love I guess! Also, being an avid fan of the sport for 30+ years I can't recall anybody ever speaking ill of LeMond as a person, while the stories of his kindness and generosity abound.
