Lakitupaan yritti UCI saada myös Greg LeMondin, mutta heikolla menestyksellä.
Kun LeMond oli samoilla linjoilla kuin minä, mutta jo vuosia aiemmin, eli 2006
The three-time Tour winner also told the French publication that Operacion Puerto “is another example, the entire system is corrupt, the UCI is corrupt.
Puerto operaatio oli vain yksi esimerkki siitä, että koko systeemi on mätä, UCI on korruptoitunut.

Sen jälkeen UCI yritti haastaa LeMondin oikeuteen, mutta hänen asianajajansa vastasi
“In your July 26 letter, you accuse Mr. LeMond of committing criminal infringement and then demand that he either (1) corroborate his alleged accusations; or (2) withdraw his alleged accusations publicly. You also “suggest to discuss the way to proceed.” Obviously, Greg LeMond’s public retraction of his statements regarding UCI is something of value to UCI. Indeed, you would not have written your letter to Mr. LeMond and demanded the same unless it had value to your organization. Under United States’ law, threatening criminal prosecution in order to obtain “any money or other valuable thing” is a federal crime. See 18 U.S.C. 0 873. Violations of section 873 require a fine and imprisonment for not more than one year.”
Pelkäskö UCIn pomot sitten, että linnatuomio olisi uhannutkin heitä eikä LeMondia, kun haasteet ilmeisesti peruttiin.
