LeMond said that Landis responded by asking "What good would it do?"<BR/><BR/>LeMond went on to reveal that he told Landis that keeping dark secrets can ruin one's life, then relayed his own story of being sexually abused as a child, a story LeMond said he had shared with very few people and never spoke of publicly until Thursday at the arbitration hearing at Pepperdine University.<BR/><BR/>The drama continued when LeMond, under direct questioning from USADA attorney Matt Barnett, said he received a phone call Wednesday night from a mysterious caller, who identified himself only as "Uncle Ron."<BR/><BR/>LeMond said he was perplexed at first, but that changed to concern when the caller made direct references to the conversation about sexual abuse that he had with Landis last August. The three-time Tour champ said the caller quickly hung up, and when LeMond redialed he got a voicemail message identifying himself as "Will."<BR/><BR/>LeMond said he tried calling back several times, finally getting an answer from someone who identified themselves only as "Bill." The conversation was inconclusive, and LeMond hung up and then called police. A subsequent check of the phone number that was saved on LeMond's mobile phone revealed that it belonged to Landis's business manager Will Geoghegan.<BR/><BR/>USADA counsel Barnett then pointed Geoghegan who was present in the courtroom, seated directly behind the Landis legal team.<BR/><BR/>Barnett proceeded to place a Witness Tampering report against Geoghegan up in the courtroom's overhead projector. Witness tampering is a felony in most states, including California. Meanwhile, Landis defense team's lead attorney Maurice Suh spent several minutes conferring with Geoghegan, whose face and neck were noticeably red.<BR/><BR/>Landis listens to former Tour winner Greg LeMond testify on Thursday.<BR/><BR/>photo: Agence France Presse - 2007<BR/>Throughout it all, Landis sat off to the left of his legal team, a blank expression on his face. The '06 Tour champ was dressed in all black (tie, shirt and suit), following three days during which he had sported a yellow tie, but said privately he would wear black if and when LeMond testified.<BR/><BR/>Barnett stepped aside, and the floor was turned to Landis attorney Howard Jacobs. Jacobs quickly trained his line of questioning to the very public dispute LeMond has had with seven-time Tour winner Lance Armstrong. This brought a quick objection from USADA's Barnett, who claimed the Armstrong-LeMond squabble and testimony LeMond gave in a civil case between Armstrong and a Texas-bases insurance company had no bearing on the matters in Malibu.<BR/><BR/>LeMond's own attorney, also present at the hearing, told the three-person arbitration panel that would not permit his client to speak about the Armstrong matter.<BR/><BR/>Jacobs countered by asking the panel to strike all of LeMond's testimony if he could not pursue the line of questioning. That led the panel to call a 15-minute recess to discuss what course to take.<BR/><BR/><BR/>miracle 2<BR/><BR/>This page printed from: http://www.velonews.com/news/fea/12271.0.htmlshawndoggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289676804569678786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881625.post-61600132193079003132007-05-17T15:15:00.001-07:002007-05-17T15:15:00.001-07:00oof, i've been totally out of the loop with the Le...oof, i've been totally out of the loop with the Lemond bangings.<BR/><BR/>somebody fill a brotha in.norcalcyclingnews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663837359225799079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881625.post-75793379000449461972007-05-17T15:15:00.000-07:002007-05-17T15:15:00.000-07:00stage 1 - no jersey underneath.RPR is a big race. ...stage 1 - no jersey underneath.<BR/><BR/>RPR is a big race. <BR/><BR/>More importantly, it's one of the few big Euro races Navigators have one.<BR/><BR/>and, it's a dramatic picture to use for the sponsors ... or, would have been.<BR/><BR/>the bike, the shoes, the helmet, the clothing, the COMPANY all could have used that picture in promo shots.<BR/><BR/>now, nothing.<BR/><BR/><BR/>stupid. <BR/><BR/>it's all about marketing.norcalcyclingnews.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14663837359225799079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881625.post-69554323537666263832007-05-17T15:14:00.000-07:002007-05-17T15:14:00.000-07:00yeah f this post olaf... we've got to get commenti...yeah f this post olaf... we've got to get commenting on Lemond's testimony at the Landis hearing.
