I am now officially sick of hearing about Lance Armstrong, in ANY context.

If the story has the words "Lance" and "Armstrong" in the headline, have your people call my people and we'll do lunch. Otherwise, I'm on permanent "do not disturb"...

Armstrong threatened my life, claims LeMond

PARIS (AFP) - Former Tour de France champion Greg LeMond has claimed that he was threatened by fellow American Lance Armstrong for having criticised the seven-time race winner's association with a doctor implicated in doping affairs.

LeMond, who won the Tour de France in 1986, 1989, 1990, said that he had come under pressure from Armstrong and his circle of friends after saying in 2001 that he was disappointed at the Texan cyclist's association with Italian sports doctor Michele Ferrari.

LeMond said Sunday that the threats continued after 2001.

"Lance threatened me. He threatened my wife, my business, my life," LeMond told French sports daily L'Equipe. "His biggest threat consisted of saying that he (Armstrong) would find ten people to testify that I took EPO," said LeMond, who was the first American to win the Tour de France.

1. Okay, either LeMond is prone to hyperbole, or his priorities are whack.

First quote: Lance threatened me. He threatened my wife, my business, my life

Second quote: His biggest threat consisted of saying that he (Armstrong) would find ten people to testify that I took EPO

Either LeMond is exagerating, or he does not value his wife or his life very highly.

2. Sounds like the kind of "trash talking" players do in a lot of sports

It should be kept within the sport.
