So....every elite American cyclist calls Lemond for advise, and in the process, confess to doping.
Our hero, only concerned with the sanctity of the sport of course, counsels full and complete public confessions for the sinners. When they (inevitabley) stubbornly refuse he does it for them. But only at times that can maximize their pain. Because, after all, public confessions (coerced or not) or most beneficial when most painful.
Is Lemond Oprah/Sister Teresa or is he Jerry Springer/Dudley Doright?
