Nobody was telling you your sarcasm was offensive; she was explaining that "I always blame the French" was sarcasm.

I think it's possible to think the whole thing is a mess and everybody is coming off as pretty shady here ... you don't have to take sides. Greg LeMond is nuts -- remember last year when he claimed that Lance Armstrong had threatened his life and his wife's life? Did anyone actually believe that? I didn't. Just the fact that he has somehow involved himself here as a witness, when he cannot possibly have anything first-hand to report, tells me that he is looking for attention. And he comes off as a liar.

But then, so does Landis, honestly. I really wanted to believe him but I have found him unconvincing for a while now. And posting what he posted about LeMond was so stupid that I am finding myself not really caring if he doped or not, because I've lost all respect ... but do I honestly think he was picking on a poor child abuse victim? Not really; I think he and his team figured out what other people have also figured out -- that is, that LeMond is mentally unstable and will say just about any ridiculous thing to get himself in the spotlight -- and tried to nip it in the bud, not because they really feared that LeMond had damaging information (how could he possibly?) but because they feared he'd make a big ruckus.

Which he did, and the Landis team stupidly made it worse. I am finding it really hard to care anymore about men's pro cycling.
