Greg LeMond

So from what I understand, and, and I, I am, um, a former, uh, Olympic caliber speed skater.

I was a pro cyclist, n- in a amateur way, but I mean, I was pro, but it was lower level pro, not like Lance Armstrong pro or, you know, Greg LeMond.

Um, those are really old references that most people wouldn't even know at this point.

But anyway, um, and so I was, I was, I was an athlete, and so I've always struggled to try to find healthy meal choices because most of it's just crap, and, and I've tried Factor, I've tried meal plans.

Right.

And then back in the 80s, 83 and 89, Greg LeMond was racing as an American

and he won two world championships.

Pretty unreal.

My only slight criticism is that the jersey wasn't Stars and Stripes enough for me.

The old classic, the blue, the white, the red, the Greg LeMond era of Stars and Stripes.

But, you know, I'm an old fuddy-duddy.

I'll take that.

hard

or go home but don't go to the toilet i mean i think i guess going hard means go to the toilet or go home to go to the toilet you know which is what i do because i can't go to the toilet in public places yeah uh okay i'll carry on the nonchalance with which the australian greeted the apparent mishap speaks to an evident truth fecal incontinence is much more common amongst athletes than might be expected Greg LeMond, Michael Jordan, Dame Paula Radcliffe have all been affected by the issue, which remains under-researched.

Here at The Athletic, we also have the issue.

No, not that one.

Yeah.

OK, should I carry on reading? Do so.

Elsewhere, three-time Tour de France winner Le Monde blamed a bout of explosive stomach trouble on a bad peach.

On stage two in 1986, with almost 100 kilometres still remaining, he stuffed a team cap into his shorts and defecated into it, rather than pull over and lose time to his rival, Bernard Hinault.

It happened to...

Greg LeMond, you know, it happened to a number of high level athletes that they highlighted.

And I think they mistook that maybe for it happens often.

Yeah, I think it happens.

He remains the oldest Masters champion.

Greg LeMond became the first American to win the Tour de France, defeating teammate and five-time champion Bernard Hinault.

The 1986 FIFA World Cup belonged to Diego Maradona and Argentina.

In the quarterfinal against England, Maradona scored the controversial Hand of God goal-

Now think about what stopping would cost them.

Greg LeMond, 1986, the Tour de France.

High in the mountains, 100 kilometers still to ride.

He blamed, I ate a bad peach.

The anal of history, yeah.

Greg LeMond, the first American to win the Tour de France, did have a episode where he was also shitting his brains out while racing-

Right

...

... yes, this is not, I...

But this is the Tour de France, like, the, one of the greatest, uh, athletic feats of, uh, all time to win the Tour de France, and nobody thought anything about it.

Uh- And everybody was like, "Wow, that was hardcore." And it was, but also you didn't want Greg Lemond's poop in your face when you were trying to draft behind him.

Yeah.
