Tour de France

Why would LeMond lie about taping the call. That sounds like a lousy thing to have done.

And Lance firing her and cutting off her healthcare. That is sleazy if true?

For every example like Stapleton's brush with unemployment or Korioth's deep freeze, there are instances of Armstrong reaching out and giving people a lift. Stephanie McIlvain has been his liaison at Oakley, his sunglasses sponsor, for 12 years. When her three-year-old son was diagnosed with autism two years ago, she quit so she could stay at home and care for him. Armstrong wouldn't have it. He told Oakley he wouldn't work with anyone else, so the company rehired her and let her work from home, with the sole responsibility of tending to Lance.

"He sent me this e-mail the other day that actually made me cry," she told me. "I don't remember why, but he just said, 'Steph, you're an awesome person, you're a great mother, and for that you're a hero.'
