Not to mention the attacks and lawsuits against anyone who claimed he was doping.

He demanded that Trek droo Greg Lemond after Greg had raised concerns about a team doctor.

Basically Armstrong was a narcissist, and he attacked anyone who went against him.

Greg was a guest on The Roadman podcast, great episode. The parts about doping and such were great. He shits on Armstrong a good bit. You love to see it.

If I could somehow forgive him for the other stuff I'd never forgive him for what he did to Lemond.
