IN-TST 2001 Problem 3

In a triangle $ABC$ with incircle $\omega$ and incenter $I$ , the segments $AI$ , $BI$ , $CI$ cut $\omega$ at $D$ , $E$ , $F$ , respectively. Rays $AI$ , $BI$ , $CI$ meet the sides $BC$ , $CA$ , $AB$ at $L$ , $M$ , $N$ respectively. Prove that: $$AL+BM+CN \leq 3(AD+BE+CF)$$ When does equality occur?
