    Does anyone know where the Floyd Landis "message" was posted ?
    Could it have been r.b.r ? Maybe he was CritPro.

    The message said, according to cyclingnews.com:
    The USADA lawyer linked this to earlier statements made by Mr. Landis on an
    internet message board in which Mr. Landis implied that this story, which
    Mr. LeMond told him in private, would be divulged as apparent retribution
    for Mr. LeMond's public "slander." On the message board in questions Mr.
    Landis had allegedly posted a message saying, "If he ever opens up his mouth
    again and the word Floyd comes out I will tell you all some things you wish
    you didn't know and I will have entered the race to the bottom and is now in
    progress."

    See here:

    I just googled for words from the quote. Someone else
    can try finding the actual post inside dailypelotonforums.

    Two things I don't get:
    How did USADA know to call Lemond as a witness - did
    Lemond contact them, or is it based on something
    he already said publicly?
    Second, is Greg making this public declaration to
    preempt Floyd from telling all, as threatened above,
    and WTF does either of those things have to do with
    a nominal doping offense? You can't blame Floyd for
    saying something that he hasn't actually said. (You
    can conclude that Will Geoghegan, no matter what he
    actually said to Lemond, is a freaking idiot, but
    again WTF does that have to do with T/E ratios?)

    I'm surprised, just from a strategy point of view,
    that USADA chose to drag any of this into their case.

    LeMond must have told someone, or directly to the USADA. Who else would have
    known. Oh wait, Kathy kinda like Betsy?
    This whole thing should be on Judge Judy or Springer. It is too lowbrow for
    Oprah. What is next, a secret shower picture showing Floyd wearing a patch
    on the cover of National Enquirer Magazine ?

    I too would be curious to know how the link came to light

    Answering my own Q - it came from something Landis published electronically,
    indicating the 6 August 2006 telephone call.

    You really don't understand this sort of stuff do you? If LeMond was
    testifying about the phone call he would have to be prepared to recite the
    entire conversation. Reminding him of that isn't witness tampering, it's
    asking him if he understands what he's doing.
