Greg LeMond believes a federal probe into fellow Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong should not be taken lightly, and could even bring about the downfall of the world’s most famous cyclist.

Poor Vania … did you not think that being associated with a doper [...]
Another rider meets a very sad end way too early … l’enfant terrible though he may have been, there is no doubt that VDB was one of the most natural talents of recent years, and that if he had been able to conquer his demons, his career would have been a long and storied [...]
This is what I wanted to see … some sort of coverage from the American press regarding the recent allegations about Lance Armstrong’s blood samples.
As Rasmus Damsgaard indicates in his response, and even as Mørkebjerg indicated in his original “interpretation” the numbers are hardly conclusive of anything, are really nothing more than [...]
