The disgraced cyclist claimed his stepfather ‘beat the s*** out of him’ in a new documentar.

‘Lance would not be the champion he is today without me, because I drove him,’ Terry said. ‘I drove him like an animal. That’s the only thing I feel bad about. Did I make him too much “win at all costs”?’

But his stepson held a much more bleak outlook on the treatment, instead stating that he would be regularly beaten.

‘I mean you talk about disciplinarian, if he said “Don’t leave your drawer open or you’re gonna be in trouble” and sure enough I’d leave the drawer open, he’d pull out his fraternity paddle and just beat the s*** out of me,’ the 48-year-old ex-sports star said in the documentary.

 

‘If I did that, my kids would be getting spanked every minute of every day! Like, who cares if the drawer’s open?’
