Willing to volunteer time as a moderator? We'd love to hear from you!
I don't believe the Armstrong foundation ever raised money for cancer research. Originally I believe it was to raise awareness of cancer. Now their mission is:
"Our mission is centered around this one question. We make immediate impact on the lives of people affected by cancer and seek out solutions to support quality of life today—and for every step of the journey."

I wasn't around at that time. Was Landis worse than the book suggests? It seems he was bipolar? And since that tend to at least in some cases involve psychosis I assumed in this case it did?

Tbh I kinda like him. In a way out of the former pros he's the closest to having some form of integrity. (But only if he still chose to stay away.)

Landis is starting to become my anti hero. Guy's got brains 🧠.
Landis was absolutely parallel.. He was fully gased, when he was popped he had a full bag of excuses, not my test, must have been excess Jack Daniels from celebrating, bunch of awesomeness!!
Then after he was caught trying to hack computers to get or alter his records, he went next level Borne Identity!! Tried to break into drug lab records!! Absolutely fantastic!!
Then he knew he was a made man and like the rest, knew secret dirt on everyone as an insider, he asked Lance for work, Armstrong said no, Landis said either hire me or else.. Or else happened and Landis ratted him out..
Landis was micro Lance, had a book and media tour raising money because he needed to defend his innocence..
Landis was part of an absolutely golden parachute for Armstrong, pay out fines, settlements, hush money, judgments and still have money left over, no jail time!!
Landis got some Armstrong ashtray money, used it for his pot business and to field a team sponsored by his drug selling business. Like too many it was ego not long term and team and sponsorship withered because after all Armstrong payments were 1 and done.. Armstrong moved on..still sitting at the table with hitters, not heavy hitters but hedge fund folks that pool their millions to back small companies.. Don't know if Lance has made more money post confession, but that's my guess.
A good script would be if Armstrong would have tried to just play Whack a Mole, with all the people out to get him, he had a full circular firing squad!!
Feds, Walsh, LeMond, Landis, and half dozen others had a noose and he never got it!! Now he is middle aged drinking wine and tequila in Aspen or Austin his pleasure. Guy came out smelling like a rose and that pisses people off as much as him lying and getting caught..
The story of Landis as a victim is comedy gold..or Roberto Gaggioli as a wronged Italian hero!!
