"The problem with Lance is that you're either a liar or you're out to
destroy cycling," said LeMond who won in 1986, 1989 and 1990.
"Lance is ready to do anything to keep his secret but I don't know how
long he can convince everybody of his innocence."

The article above goes on to say:
"The book [L.A. Confidential] focuses on statements attributed to Emma
O'Reilly, a physiotherapist who worked with Armstrong from 1998-2000.
O'Reilly claims Armstrong used the banned blood booster erythropoietin
(EPO)."
Does the book really make that claim directly? The buzz seems to say
the book is full of innuendo and insinuation but never makes direct
claims (to cover the author's/accuser's legal asses). I'm not gonna buy
the book to find out.

It's circumstantial -- for instance, the bag of hypodermic needles that
Armstrong allegedly gave to O'Reilly to get rid of.
It's interesting and maybe telling that Armstrong wants to go to court.
The depositions alone will clear up a lot.

Phil Liggett said he had read the book and it shows that the books
author believes Lance is a doper but the book will not convince you in
the least that Lance is a doper.
