LeMond: Lance threatened meReport says three-time Tour winner forced to testifyPosted: Sunday June 25, 2006 6:53PM; Updated: Monday June 26, 2006 9:02AM

PARIS (AP) -- Three-time Tour de France winner GregLeMond says he testified in a court case involvingLance Armstrong because the Texan had threatenedhim, according to L’Equipe Dimanche on Sunday.

Last week, French newspapers published claims by thewife of a former Armstrong teammate alleging that theseven-Time Tour winner had admitted to usingperformance-enhancing drugs in 1996.

Betsy Andreu claimed that Armstrong, days after heunderwent brain surgery in 1996, had told a doctor hehad used the blood-boosting hormone EPO and otherdrugs.

Armstrong denied the allegations made in swornstatements by Andreu, the wife of former teammateFrankie Andreu, before an arbitration panel in January.

In a two-page denial released Friday, Armstrong calledthe allegations "stale, unfounded and untrue."

Her testimony came in a legal dispute over whether " ’ ~ : " ’Armstrong was owed a $5 million bonus for winningthe 2004 Tour. The bonus had been withheld due to claims Armstrong had cheated.

After three weeks of testimony in the case, Armstrong was awarded $7.5 million.

In the weekly edition of L’Equipe Dimanche, LeMond outlined his reasons for testifying in the case.

"I was forced to testify, because Lance had threatened me," LeMond said. "He threatened my wife, mybusiness, my life. His biggest threat consisted of saying he would find 10 people to testify that I took EPO.Of course, he didn’t find a single one."

In 2001, LeMond said he was unhappy about Armstrong’s link to Italian doctor Michele Ferrari, whoreceived a suspended yearlong jail sentence in October 2004 for sports fraud and malpractice.

LeMond later issued an apology to Armstrong, saying he was "a great champion" and that his criticalremarks on Armstrong’s links to Ferrari had been taken out of context.

Ferrari once advised Armstrong, but the cyclist cut his ties with him after the conviction. Ferrari wascleared of the most severe charge of distributing health-threatening doping products.

National Ledger - Landis Dop!~tlg Charge Gives LeMond a Chance to R~.’j~. ~Lance Armstrong

"I mean, you can get Greg Lemond to go on the air andspeculate. I’m not going to do that. But I’m not goingsouth like Greg does. I believe in the sport. I love it, been afan of it, and I’m going to support it."

Armstrong stayed abovc the fray but LeMond had more:

"It is ,~.,.:,;:_U~._~:q. as a professional sport that represents the problem. Itcan transform someone into a liar," LeMond said.

What a sad statement. Greg LeMond has turned into Greg who?

Page 2 of 4

Using the doping charges against Floyd Landis and calling LanceArmstrong a liar with his ludicrous "deny, deny, deny" didnothing more than cheapen LeMond’s legacy.

Spare me the lecture. Lance owns the sport that Greg once did.Take it like a man. Records were meant to be broken.
