For those that follow cycling, please explain?

Is it because LeMond thinks that Lance cheated?

It seems like there is some serious bad blood between these two Americans...

I think it's about a 50-50 split between LeMond KNOWING Armstrong cheated and LeMond's ego. He was the big-name American cyclist before Armstrong came along (talk about a big fish in a tiny pond); it seems like he sort of misses those days.

Plus Armstrong is a hard dude to like for a lot of people. Yes, he came back from cancer that would have devastated a lot of people, and that's impressive as hell, but on a personal level he's kind of an ass.

They don't call him Lance Pharmstrong for nothing. But that stuff used to be very hard to prove. Something tells me that with all of the scrutiny that is going on now with sports in general, that Pharmstrong is no longer on any kind of enhancing drugs or blood doping. Especially given his results in this years TDF.

All of the above *and* Lance gets better poo-tang.
