Floyd Landis, who this week admitted to doping throughout his cycling career, has reportedly made an apology to three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond.
Landis has apologised to LeMond for an incident during the 2007 hearing at which Landis appealed the cheating charge that saw him stripped of the 2006 Tour de France title.
LeMond was scheduled to testify about a telphone conversation with Landis, in which he believed Landis had admitted using performance enhancing drugs.
On the night before he was to testify, LeMond received an anonymous call threatening to reveal that he had been sexually molested as a child – something he had told Landis in their earlier conversation as a way of demonstrating the destructive power of secrets.

Arizona Cardinals DE Darnell Dockett apologized on Tuesday after he showered publicly on a video chat site last week.
Dockett drew attention last week after he boasted of his public showering on Twitter. Dockett said he had received a $1,000 dare to do it.
"It's a learning experience for me," Dockett said Tuesday. "I've never been in trouble, I've never been in the news or on gossip sites or things like that. I apologize to all the kids, everybody in the community who looks up to me. I apologize to my team. I walked by each player individually and apologized. I got to do better things than that.
"Y'all will never see me on no news or media, anything like that again, unless it's for me trying to take somebody's head off."

A gay rights group is demanding an apology from Newsweek magazine for a recent story that the group says suggested gay actors can't play straight characters.
"An actor's personal life should not be a factor in their believability in a role," said Jarrett Barrios, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. "That would be tantamount to audiences not buying Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl as lovers in their upcoming film 'Killers' because the two are happily married to different people in real life."

Elisabeth Hasselbeck has apologized to ESPN reporter and "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Erin Andrews for comments she made about Andrews' attire on the show.
"The View" co-host said she regretted the remarks she made on Tuesday's show, when she said that Andrews' stalker could have avoided prison time by simply watching her in her "Dancing with the Stars" costumes.
"In light of what happened and as a legal [matter] - and as inexcusable as it was for that horrific guy to go in and try to peep on her in her hotel room," Hasselbeck said Tuesday. "I mean, in some way if I'm him, I'm like, 'Man! I just could've waited 12 weeks and seen this - a little bit less - without the prison time!'"
Andrews told People magazine Wednesday that Hasselbeck's comments were "a slap in the face to victims of stalking and sexual predators."
"The thing that I was most upset about is I felt she was mocking a situation," she continued. "As a mother and a woman, I'm disappointed she went there."
In March, a man was sentenced to federal prison for secretly filming Andrews and posting nude video of her on the Internet. In April, after she began competing on "Dancing with the Stars," she began receiving death threats.
Hasselbeck said that she left work Tuesday feeling bad about what she had said, and spoke to her 5-year-old daughter, Grace Elisabeth, about it.
"She’s so cute, she said to me, 'Mommy, why don't you just call Erin and tell her you’re sorry?'" Hasselbeck said Wednesday. "So, thankfully, I listened to her -- she's a wise little girl -- and I did. So, I'm really sorry, and I wanted to offer that publicly too, even though I did follow that advice."

Scott Lago 22, of New Hampshire an Olympic medalist, fell from grace after sexually suggestive photographs of him with a young woman and his medal appeared on the celebrity Web site TMZ.com.
One photo shows the woman bending to kiss the medal below Lago’s waist, while he pulls his shirt up. The other shows the woman biting the medal while Lago and his teammate Greg Bretz look on.
“I’m sorry for the pictures,” he said. “I’m sorry to the American public that I offended. I was out celebrating. It happened so quick.”
He apologized to the United States Ski and Snowboard Association for what he termed “a lapse in judgment.” U.S.S.A. officials and Lago’s coaches reviewed the matter and said, “We think it’s in Scotty’s best interest to go home,”. The United States Olympic Committee has stepped up efforts to head off misbehavior by Olympians after some high-profile incidents.

"I'm truly sorry".
“I had affairs,” he said. “I was unfaithful. I cheated.”
“to enjoy all the temptations around me.” He added: “I was wrong. I was foolish. I don’t get to play by different rules.”
“Elin never hit me that night or any other night,” he said, as his voice rose and his face hardened. “There has never been an episode of domestic violence in our marriage, ever. Elin has shown enormous grace and poise throughout the ordeal.”
“I do plan to return to golf one day, I just don’t know when that day will be. I don’t rule out that it will be this year.”
