I know a lot of men who were molested as kids who are very grateful to LeMond right now for having the guts to admit to the world that he was molested. The majority of people who have had this happened to them,never do.

To most men who were molested, it’s too shameful and embarrassing a thing to admit.

"It was a real threat, it was real creepy, and I think it shows the extent of who it is," LeMond said. "I think there's another side of Floyd that the public hasn't seen."

He testified that he told Landis that very few people knew that about him, then revealed the call Geoghegan made in an attempt to intimidate him. The caller, LeMond said, pretended he was LeMond's uncle.

"He said, 'I'll be there tomorrow and we can talk about how we used to' perform a sexual act, LeMond said. "I thought this was intimidation to keep me from coming here."

LeMond's original testimony was supposed to be about conversations he said he had with Landis shortly after news of his positive "A" urine sample had been leaked to the media last summer.

LeMond said he urged Landis to come clean if, in fact, his backup "B" sample also came back tainted.

He said he encouraged Landis to help his sport and "more importantly, help himself."

"At this point, he said, '... what good would it do? If I did, it would destroy a lot of my friends and hurt a lot of people,"' LeMond testified.


It's getting stranger and darker.
