yah, lemond finished a stage of the tour with diarrhea literally flowing out of this shorts and down his legs. other riders said the smell was horrid, it was a very hot day.
as for pros needing to take a crap during a stage, for the most part it's not necessary. they train their bodies to evacuate at certain times of the day.
