Mr. Crazy... meet Mr Crazier













What... what... just WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

The Roid Landis case took another crazy turn yesterday, when Ole Supercrazy himself, a.k.a. Greg LeMond, testified that he had been sexually abused as a child (evidently he had not been informed that this case was about steroid use in cycling) and that Landis's manager had called him to threaten to expose that information if he took the stand.

The amazing thing is that it seems like LeMond had nothing really to add to the proceedings, other than the fact of his sexual abuse. As to Roid Landis, all he did was report that he gave Landis advice after the first positive test came through last summer, which began (as does seemingly every sentence out of Greg LeMond's mouth) by telling him that he had been sexual abused, and then boiled down to "look, if you're guilty, you should come clean."

Obviously, this is advice that Landis was not and will never be interested in hearing. Something tells me that five years from now, he'll be out in Central Park with a bullhorn accosting people as to the details of how his "B" sample of urine was tampered with. With people walking by thinking - "Hey, isn't that the guy who sexually abused Greg LeMond?"

Stay tuned for tomorrow's testimony, when Lance Armstrong admits to the courtroom that he has genital warts.
