According to Lemond - one can't naturally generate that level of power at high cadence. It's one of the methods Lemond uses to identify cheaters.
Just clarifying: I think Lemond wasn't saying that it was the high cadence that was suspect per se. Hour records are typically set at high cadences. It was Armstrong's turning over that gear for so long with a cadence that made it appear almost effortless.
