before the lance years,what were they on Indurain etc Lemond?
No real rumours but he failed an asthma inhaler once but was cleared-forget the exact details. I thing most accept he was a physiological freak tbh.
as for asking about whether le Mond did drugs 😯
no one thinks he cheated
LeMond is a longtime anti-doping advocate and a vocal opponent of performance-enhancing drug use. He first spoke on-record against doping in cycling after winning the 1989 Tour de France,[128] but LeMond attracted more substantial attention in 2001 when he publicly expressed doubts about the legitimacy of Lance Armstrong’s success after learning of his relationship with Dr. Michele Ferrari.[129][130][131] The intense criticism LeMond was subjected to for his comments placed him at the center of an anti-doping controversy.
LeMond has consistently questioned the relationship between riders and unethical sports doctors like Ferrari,[132] and has pointed out that the professional cyclists who make use of doping products are ultimately victimized by the process, likening their treatment to that of “lab rats.”[133] Said LeMond: “The doctors, the management, the officials, they’re the ones that have corrupted riders. The riders are the only ones that pay the price.”[133] LeMond’s most contentious or notable conflicts have been with fellow Tour de France riders Lance Armstrong, Floyd Landis and Alberto Contador.
LeMond has also been directly critical of the UCI and its president, Pat McQuaid. In December 2012, LeMond claimed that a change needed to be made at the head of leadership for the UCI, and stated if called upon he would be willing to take the position himself if necessary to lead cycling out of the mire of doping. Said LeMond:
“It is now or never to act. After the earthquake caused by the Armstrong case, another chance will not arise. I am willing to invest to make this institution more democratic, transparent and look for the best candidate in the longer term.”[134]
LeMond was one of the first prominent professional cyclists to openly decry the sport’s descent into the corruption of doping.[citation needed] In response to LeMond’s call for new leadership, McQuaid rebuffed LeMond, preferring to focus on LeMond’s lack of administrative background, rather than defend his own record at the UCI. Said McQuaid: “The last 25 years, where has he been? Nowhere. Not involved in cycling. He is outside cycling, shouting at it looking in.”
