Calling Out Armstrong’s Doping Cost Him Everything
Greg LeMond questioned Lance Armstrong’s relationship with known doping doctor Michele Ferrari in 2001. As a three-time Tour de France winner himself, LeMond recognized suspicious performance patterns. Armstrong used his fame and influence to attack LeMond’s reputation, pressuring sponsors to drop him. The cycling world shunned LeMond for eleven years until Armstrong’s doping was finally exposed in 2012. Seven Tour titles were stripped away, revealing the sport’s biggest fraud had been hiding in plain sight.
