LeMond said in a statement he sent to the Daily News<\/strong>, \u201cI believe most of Floyd Landis’ statements regarding the systemic corruption in professional cycling. It is clear to me Floyd has paid a heavy price and I support Floyd in his attempt to free himself from his past. I hope that others – fans, riders and sponsors embrace this as an opportunity to bring about positive change in the sport.” His statement supporting Landis was suprising since LeMond was one of those who testified against Landis in a 2007 arbitration case which caused Landis to overturn a two-year competition ban following abnormal testosterone scores in 2006. LeMond and Armstrong have also had disputes for years, particularly with suspicions for Armstrong to be doping. LeMond also made a breach-of-contract lawsuit against one of Armstrong\u2019s primary sponsors, Trek Bicycling Corporation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n
