Here are some pretty in depth interviews with Walsh and Lemond, mostly on the topic of drugs. Also the infamous phone converstation between Lemond and Stephanie McIlvain.

Might be old news to some, but they made me re-evaluate my opinion of a few cyclists.

Good interviews there, esp the LeMond one (the third link)

Thanks for link Pete
Just listened to that call.

Strange listening to it cause they speak about everything from the 'confession' to how much of a slag Sheryl (Crow) is to questioning whether Big George's baby will be normal :eek:

Poor Greg is so f*cked up though - not surprising given his childhood.

There is no doubt though IMO that Armstrong and his Trek cronies threatened him and that Landis and his camp engaged in shocking behavour towards him

I always felt David Walsh was jumping on the band wagon and always felt dissapointed by his turn coat attitude, but listening to him here i think hes got nothing to gain from such an approach, very interesting listening thanks for this and enlightening me to what i was always dubious about in 1999,
At least i spent that summer away from civilisation and had no access to the tv, would have wasted 3 weeks in July on something that was false.
