I don't know if Greg doped or not - but it wouldn't surprise me if some day he said he had.

Consider this from the OLN special on Greg Lemond that aired the evening the TDF concluded. "In 1991, something had changed in the peleton...".

That one statement ruined all credibility that had been been building through the whole show.

Hey Greg, ever hear of Tommy Simpson? Charlie Gaul? It isn't like something just started occurring in '91. Maybe some of the riders came upon a more effective way of doping then, but the concept and practice have been around since the beginning of the sport. You had to know it had been going on from the first week you rode in Europe (if not well before then). I'm sorry, but I dislike hypocrisy almost as much as I dislike cheating.
