The Lance Armstrong Cult.
What a great example of the symbiotic relationship between Lance and Livestrong.Rossco8 said:I read this online...
The silent auction included two Trek bicycles valued up to $12,000 — Trek was one of the companies that dropped Armstrong as a sponsor on Wednesday — and seven autographed yellow jerseys Armstrong wore on the podium during his Tour de France victories.
I wonder if we will find out what the jerseys went for...
I hate to say it, but I am beginning to agree with your assessment. It is not a "charity" at all. Calling itself "non-profit" is a joke. To be honest, I always felt a little funny about the "livestrong" thing. It seemed like a scam. I never said anything though, because "livestrong" had such a positive image and was so strongly associated with cancer. I think that there is some serious fraud going on here, and I hope that starts to come out too.onimod said:What - a charity designed to generate donations for a charity designed to generate donations for a charity designed to generate donations...?
The sponsors propping up this sham need some serious heat applied to them.
This sort of "charity" should never have existed in the first place, but "Lance's sprocket jockey club" doesn't have quite the same appeal does it?
There always seem to be more scientologists, smokers and poker machine addicts so I imagine Liestrong will survive in much the same way, preying on the weak and uninformed.
It looks like an Amway convention.goggalor said:![]()

It's funny. All Armstrong has left is to hang out with the very people he's detests. He hates these events. Now he has to pretend they're all part of the family.trailrunner said:And a yellow wristband peeking through his cuffs. Probably has yellow underwear too.
Maybe LA could have given a speech similar to his SCA deposition?Beech Mtn said:That LA speech and the lukewarm audience reaction reminds me of this: Randy Watson & Sexual Chocolate - from "Coming to America"
Q: You have made a -- a contribution or donation to the UCI, have you not?
A. I have, yeah.
Q. Do you know when that was made?
A. Some years ago. I don't recall exactly.
Q. Well, 2000, for example?
A. I don't know.
...
Q. Did you tell UCI you were going to make it before you did?
A. I don't recall, but I don't think so. I don't know.
Q. You gave $25,000, or approximately $25,000 to the UCI, but you don't remember if you told them beforehand that you were sending them a check?
A. I don't recall.
Q. Had you ever given any money to UCI before?
A. No.
Q. Have you ever given any money since?
A. I have pledged money since, but I don't think I've done it yet.
Q. When did you pledge money?
A. I don't remember. Between now and then.
...
Q. Okay. Do you know what UCI did with the money?
A. I don't know.
Q. Who did you give the money to?
A. Well, if you sent a check or a wire, I don't know who received it, but...
Q. I mean, like -- is it literally like one day the UCI guy comes in, opens up the mail, and there's a check from you for $25,000?
A. I mean, I don't know. I wasn't in the mail room.
Q. Okay. But did you let anyone know this is coming?
A. I told you, I don't remember.
Q. Okay. Have you spoken to anyone at UCI regarding your donation?
A. Yeah.
Q. Who?
A. I have spoken to Alain Rumpf, Hein Verbruggen, perhaps others.
Q. Do you know what they've done with the money?
A. I just told you, I don't know.
Q. Okay. Like they didn't buy some specific equipment or something with it that you're aware of? It wasn't earmarked --
A. Which part of I don't know do you not understand?
...
Q. Are you aware of any other professional cyclists who's given money to UCI?
A. I don't know. I'm not aware. Personally, I think there should be -- I think everybody should contribute to the fund.
Q. How does UCI get its money? Do you know?
A. I have no idea.
Q. Okay.
A. Honestly, I don't know.
Q. That part of "I don't know" I understood. Believe me.
Because they have some class. Unlike anyone here. It's a charity dinner for godsakes. Lighten up Francis.GuidoG said:How come no one boo`ed him tonight as he spoke?? .

With the evidence coming out that he keeps over 1/3 of the money for "charity rides" before it is ever deposited with Livestrong, clearly Livestrong becomes a mere con, designed to line Lance's pockets. Lance Armstrong is a grifter, that's all. What he's doing now is sucking the marks dry of every last penny before it dries up.irongrl said:I hate to say it, but I am beginning to agree with your assessment. It is not a "charity" at all.

Hopefully the Bloomberg article that got shelved earlier this year gets a call up.Love the Scenery said:With the evidence coming out that he keeps over 1/3 of the money for "charity rides" before it is ever deposited with Livestrong, clearly Livestrong becomes a mere con, designed to line Lance's pockets.

One of the most successful grifters of all time, he will be studied by con men for centuries to come.
I really hope that. liestrong is as much a fraud as lance's entire career. he put starting money supposed to be for livestrong in his own pockets, saying he would ride for free during his comeback. BULL***!!thehog said:Hopefully the Bloomberg article that got shelved earlier this year gets a call up.
I'm sure there's several other journalists looking into the practices of LS now.

If he was the completely classless guy you all represent, he would have stayed away. But, he did not. He decided the cause was greater than himself. Think about that, the 28 million current cancer patients ( feel free the argue the real number but if 12 million US have it, it is probably conservative) and the 2.5 million people that LAF has directly helped (In fact, right now they are helping pay for three friends treatment). He may be a doper and likely a colossal assjat, but even if you don't like all of how his foundation works, they get a lot of people help.
