With all the light on Armstrong you and your pal will have to
testify. I hope you weren't blowing smoke.

Armstrong may have hurt his head if this is really where is thinking
is at these days.

AX-3 DOMAINES, France (AP)

Lance Armstrong dismissed as "nonsense" a reported claim by Greg
LeMond that the seven-time Tour de France champion tried to pay
someone $300,000 to say LeMond used a banned drug.

LeMond, a three-time Tour de France champion, told the German
newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung's weekend issue that Armstrong tried to
implicate him "by all means" in a scandal involving EPO, a performance
enhancer.

LeMond refused to reveal the identity of the person who was allegedly
offered money by Armstrong, saying he still works in cycling.

Armstrong dismissed the accusation after Sunday's 14th stage of the
Tour.

"That's absolutely nonsense — $300,000?" Armstrong said, when asked by
The Associated Press about the allegations. "Come on. I know (about
the report). But he says a lot."

"That's just another thing," he said, alluding to years of antagonism
between the two American Tour champions.

According to a report Friday in the Daily News of New York, LeMond has
been served with a grand jury subpoena as part of a federal
investigation of possible fraud and doping charges against Armstrong
and his associates.

The federal investigation was spurred by accusations by Floyd Landis,
a former teammate of Armstrong's on the US Postal team, in a series of
emails sent to cycling and doping officials this spring.

Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour title for doping, said the
use of banned substances was common on the team. Armstrong has denied
those allegations and has questioned Landis' credibility.

OK, which one of you took the cash? The rest of us, who have been saying
it for free, want OUR cut!

Is there an emoticon for a guy with hands clasped behind,
whistling, and gazing off into the distance?
