For me, the problem with Armstrong wasn’t so much the cheating, it was the lives he tried to destroy.

Thanks for this great interview!!  I was one of those who supported Armstrong and didn't think he was cheating.  Then found out that he was suing/threatening to sue people to shut them up.  As others have commented, Armstrong was/is a terrible person for this.

Armstrong was not only a cheater, he was a complete sociopath.

Kudos to Roadman to just let Greg speak, uninterrupted for several minutes. Mark of a great interviewer.

As a young man, Greg was my inspiration, still have his first book. Got into lifetime of riding and racing because of him. I work in the sports industry where I've met both Lance and Greg, in '98 and 2000 respectively. Two totally different experiences. Greg was down to earth, humble and easy to talk to.

It’s bad enough that he was a cheat. But he was a bully too. To me, that’s even worse.
Best wishes Greg,. You’re a standup guy that never should’ve been put in that position.

"His victory is unbelievable."  Great response Greg as you could take it both ways.

A guy walks out on his wife who had been beside him as he had cancer so he could date Sheryl Crow, and we all assumed he was a stand up person?

before he ever won a tour de france, Armstrong was widely regarded as a complete ass.

Greg LeMond is the reason I started cycling as a young Marine in Hawaii, 1987.  Still hitting the pavement today at 56, thank you sir!!!

One thing I’ve learned over the years watching professional cycling is if it looks too good to be true, it probably is

A friend of mine was taken into the UK schoolboy's cycling programme.
Before he'd unpacked, he was sent to a doctor who told him he was asthmatic- he wasn't. But he was told to use salbutamol inhalers before every training session.
ALL the kids were told the same, so we can only assume that EVERY cyclist is cheating.

As many have already said, Greg LeMond was the reason I started cycling in the early 90s. I remember whispering a "thank you" to him the first time I did 50 miles on my RB-1 and I'm still cycling at 73. So nice to see him healthy, happy and with grandkids now. Thanks, Greg!

Greg Lemond was the person who introduced cycling to me and many Americans. To me he is the greatest and most important American cyclist.

A New Zealand cyclist who had raced with Lance Armstrong told the New Zealand press that he had seen Lance and members of his team  injecting drugs during races. He was ignored by most mainstream media and threatened with lawsuits by Armstrongs lawyers.The cyclist stuck to his story and yet was never taken to court by Armstrongs team.

I worked as a sales rep for Greg Lemond from the very beginning.  Greg was always a genuine stand up person who treated people with respect.  LA was the opposite.

I was lucky enough to be in Paris for the final stage of the 1989 Tour de France when Lemond came smoking by my vantage point. Most impressive sports performance I ever witnessed. Greg was fast. Way faster than anyone else that day. It was visually apparent. No one was close to him. It was a great day to be an American in Paris!

My biggest problem with Mr. Armstrong is not that he doped (because EVERYONE) was doing it.  It was the threats he made to teammates.

For many years I argued that Armstrong was the greatest athlete in the world. When the truth came out I felt like a fool, but worse was learning what he did to people who dared question him. What a terrible human being

I’ve had a LeMond bike for 16 years and it is the best bike I’ve ever owned!
