Bike Company Puts Brakes on Greg LeMond

Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond has been pissing in seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong's water bottle for years -- and now LeMond's biz partner wants out of its deal with him.
Greg LeMond
Trek Bicycles is hauling LeMond into court to end their business deal immediately because, as the lawsuit says, Greg has "impaired" and "destroyed" their $5 million partnership by dissing cycling hero Lance. The has-been rider has been publicly accusing Armstrong of doping for years -- but who's the dope now?

And Trek is also pissed that LeMond has been selling their super-pricey wheels on the cheap -- they say he's buying bikes at an employee discount, then selling them through back channels, and not through licensed dealers. A lawyer for LeMond couldn't immediately be reached for comment.

19. Good Going Trek, I am so glad Trek is parting ways with Greg Lemond. He is such a whinner and I am sick of hearing about him. Lance has done all that is/was required of him to prove he raced clean. He passed every and all tests that cycling requires. If anyone still feels that Lance doped, then it is the cycling rules, regulations and testing that has dishonored the sport....NOT LANCE! People are always trying to knock down champions because they aren't one themselves. If Greg had kept his mouth shut and his jealousy to himself, then maybe more people would remember his cycling career instead of his whinning. And geez people get your facts straight concerning Lance's wife, kids and Sheryl Crow before you spurt out stupidity!

20. Before I heard anything from Greg about Lance - I saw an interview with him. Wow... did it open my eyes. What a whining little creep. Suddenly, because he can't compete and it is because everyone else is doping. Right... and God didn't make little green apples. Greg, you are a sad sad man. Your vendetta is NOT against doping, it is against those who are as good or better than you. You were a great cyclist. I enjoyed your victories... but I have lost all respect for you. While I am not convinced that Armstrong is a squeaky clean as he claims, I see no proof to the contrary. As for Floyd.. why would he have doped and won the stage, knowing that he would be tested.... and Why would he have called the biggest mouth in Cycling to admit anything? Greg... support your fellow cyclists and speak out against doping.

21. So Greg has been screwed over by Trek. Who hasn’t? The so called “American bicycle company” that can’t manage to sell any American bikes for under $2500, has put $ well ahead of ethics over the last 10-15 years. Greg deserves better. The bikes Trek is “designing”(maybe) and “purchasing” from their Asian sweat shops in his name are a disgrace to Greg’s name and renown as the greatest (drug free) American racer to ever win the Tour. I hope he seeks out another builder (I.F., Ellsworth, Waterford, etc.) here or in Europe that will be proud to build his bikes, not merely contractually obligated. Trek and Lance deserve each other! Now I have to hope Lance’s lawyers don’t sue me too.

22. Greg LeMond is nothing but a big crybaby. All he ever does is try to say how better he is than Lance Armstrong. I am not a big Lance fan but he has done more for cycling than the crybaby has ever done. I guess when you are as jealous as he is concerning other American riders, you just can't keep your mouth shut. Too bad LeMond, I guess it is tough being a legend in your own mind. Try shutting up and selling your Trek Bikes, oops can't do that anymore, can you? All you had to do was keep your mouth shut. Just too much to ask?
