While not a major decider, the Armstrong connection doesn't help - I don't really care about his shenanigans anymore - he wasn't the only doper, he was just the best at it. However, he put Trek on the map and they repaid the favor by rolling over and becoming his *****. So, when LA decided that he didn't like Lemond anymore, Trek's response was "What can we do, Boss?"... and Lemond Cycles disappeared. Screw that, and, for this and many other reasons, screw Trek.
