[Larry King, Host:] Tonight, Lance Armstrong is injured in a bloody crash just hours after he's been called a doper.
[Lance Armstrong, Pro Cyclist:] We have nothing to hide.
[King:] Disgraced rider, former teammate, Floyd Landis, makes the claims, admits that he himself is a cheater. We got the latest on the scandal. Plus, Lindsay Lohan's big new legal mess, the warrants out for her arrest. Could the tormented actress end up in the slammer? And then, the disastrous Gulf oil spill one month old today. B.P.'s man-in-charge answers tough questions next on LARRY KING LIVE. Good evening. An arrest warrant issued today for Lindsay Lohan after she failed to appear at a court hearing in Los Angeles this morning. Her attorney claims she lost her passport and was unable to fly back to the United States from Europe. Late today, that warrant was recalled. Lohan posted bond, meaning she won't be arrested when she returns. We'll have that story for you shortly. Meanwhile, seven-time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong, crashed earlier today during the tour of California. Smash-up occurred just hours after Armstrong flatly denied allegations of the disgraced former team Floyd Landis that they both used performance- enhancing drugs. We'll start on the phone. To talk to with us is Johan Bruyneel. He is Lance Armstrong's longtime coach, director of RadioShack's cycling team for which Lance currently competes. How is he doing physically, Johan, right now?
[Johan Bruyneel, Lance Armstrong's Coach:] Well, he's he's definitely hurt. The crash was spectacular, Larry. And when I got there on the spot, I saw a lot of blood on his face. That was our main concern at first. I had to talk to him quite a bit to get him back on the bike because he was shocked and hurt. He got back on the bike. And after a few miles, we basically got him back into the group. But then he started to feel really heavy pain in his left elbow, which started to be really a concern. He couldn't stand up on his bike. He had some problems with braking. So we decided to be to play it safe and take him to the hospital. Initially, we were fearing for a fractured elbow, because the elbow started to swell on the bike and got really big. But finally, the good news came after a few hours. He went to the hospital in Bakersfield and the x-rays revealed no fracture, which is good news for the next few months. But at the same time, he's hurt and he's, of course, very, very disappointed that he had to pull out of Tour of California because his form was coming really to a good level.
[King:] How many stitches near that eye?
[Bruyneel:] I don't know. I think six or seven stitches. But that's going to be healing fast. So, the elbow was more of a concern.
[King:] And where is he now?
[Bruyneel:] And it still it still is. It still is. I mean, he's on the plane back home. When a rider gets hurt, the best is really to leave the race as soon as he can and be with the family and take care of himself. So, that's what he's doing right now.
[King:] Johan is with us. Also with us in New York is Bill Strickland, editor-at-large of "Bicycling" magazine. He's, by the way, author of the forthcoming book "Tour de Lance." A great title. With us as well is Ben Delaney of VeloNews. He's the editor of VeloNews, the official sponsor of Tour de California. Bill, you have you said that the coincidence of this crash coming on the same day as the doping allegations is typical of everything that surrounds Armstrong. Elaborate on that.
[Bill Strickland, Editor At Large, Bicycling:] Yes. Well, he's an incredibly complex figure. And everything that happens to him just sort of turns into grand theater. His supporters see it one way. You know, they're just going to see that Lance had a really bad day, you know, the worst day than most of us ever have in our lives. And his critics are going to, you know, think that Lance crashed out on purpose, you know, just to escape the media circus. And to me, it's just as I researched the book and followed Lance around and researched his history, it's just typical of everything he goes through in his life. There's a million interpretations to it, and everyone finds in it what they want to.
[King:] Why him, Ben? Why Lance? It's because he's won so much?
[Ben Delaney, Editor, Velonews:] He's the biggest target in the world whether he's a bike racer or the source for media news. You know, the timing is what's surprised a lot of people here. Floyd Landis won the 2006 Tour de France, and for four year has years vigorously denied any doping. And he waits until Armstrong is enjoying his day in the California sunshine here to come forward with these allegations.
[King:] Johan, hasn't he literally passed every doping test?
[Bruyneel:] He has. He has. I think Lance has been the most tested not only cyclist, but the most tested athlete in the world. And there's been there's been a lot of critics and a lot of accusation accusations. So for us, I mean, these accusations of Floyd were not a surprise. We kind of knew about this already for several weeks, even months.
[King:] Hold on a second. Prior to the crash, disgraced cyclist Floyd Landis unleashed a series of e-mails accusing Armstrong of doping and teaching other riders how to do it. Landis also recanted years of denials, finally confessed that he himself had doped for many years. In an interview with ESPN.com, Landis declared, "I don't feel guilty at all about having doped. I did what I did because that's what we cyclists did, and it was a choice I had to make after 10 or 12 years of hard work to get there. It was a decision I had to make the next step. My choices were, do it and see if I can win, or don't do it and tell people I just don't want to do that, and I decided to do it." What do you make of that explanation, Bill?
[Strickland:] Well, you know, I Floyd is sort of an interesting character. He's a bit of a circus, you know? He has been since the doping trial began. He's in a he's in a little bit of a rough spot personally. His racing career isn't going good. He spent $2 million on his legal trial and he's admitted that sort of drained him financially. And his marriage ended. And it's, unfortunately, for Floyd, he's just discredited himself to the point where the allegations by themselves mean nothing. You know, if investigators were to look into it and find something, you know, then we're talking about a possible scandal. But, you know, coming from Floyd at this time, given his past, the allegations themselves, you know, it's just hard to put any real stock into them until they're investigated.
[King:] We'll be back with more right after these words. Don't go away.
