Charity pimps

Tour hierarchy was absolutely correct in ordering Radio Shack to wear appropriate jerseys. TdeF is an athletic event, not a charity-awareness organization. Armstrong needs to learn to keep his charity activities separate from his place of employment. He's not running the show here. Charity pimps and do-gooders have already taken over almost every ride and many races in the U.S. Enough is enough, already. (non Armstrong-hater)

Pathetic

I figure that he knew he couldn't get away with it. The controversy surrounding them having to change back to their standard jersey, the media focus on it all and Armstrong's seeming annoyance with it all was likely all pre-planned for maximum dramatic effect.
