You are?

Therefore you should help all of us...

So here’s my idea. I’ve seen some excellent information posted on this site in relation to Armstrong, his doping practices, his pressure tactics , the women and the dodgy charity. The the spin-bike thread on Livestrong has introduce some interesting debate.

The more I read the more I understand that this important and extremely well researched information hasn’t penetrated the mainstream press or within the thoughts of people. With the possibility of pending trials the Livestrong crew will swing into action.

The postings are in several threads and all over the place. In addition the CyclingNews forum is really only read by cycling fans. The Livestrong shenanigans reach a wider less specific cycling dedicated audience.

So my suggest is we start out own website/blog named “Livewrong”. We keep factual only. Post only detail from linkable/scanned sources. We use it as a repository but also as a source that people can go to, to get an alternate view on the ****e that the Livestrong push out. If we can’t trust our current media and we can’t expect journalist to ask questions beyond those of hero worship then we have to take this into our own hands.

I’m sure once its open to a wider audience others will come forward with more accounts of how things work.

So if we provide the details and the links you can set this up?

A Lance Armwrong wiki page, yeah!

The Clinic members would have it filled in a matter of days.

If someone has a good press release email/faxlist to use, it could be sent out for their info, should they ever want to write more than what the LA PR gig pukes out.

Lance's attempt to get back into triathlon is on hold because he keeps sinking.


Help! I can't swim

Speaking to the Journal Sentinel, Trek CEO John Burke has made it clear that despite the investigation, the company remains committed to its relationship with Armstrong.

“He's been a big part of the past and he's an amazing person. And he will be part of the company into the future,” he said.

“You really have to understand him, and to see the power of him, you need to be around him. There's something weird that happens when you are around him.

“You can see the bike fans and they go crazy. But it's the cancer survivors. I've been with him a lot. You kind of lay back in the shadows, and it's intense. That connection with that woman who is sitting there and he was an inspiration in her fight against cancer. That's a big deal.

“There's not 4,000 of those people. And there's not 40,000 and there's not 400,000. It's millions.”

even vroomen thought the site was silly

http://gerard.cc/2011/06/09/facts4lance-com-rip/

"I was just writing this blog about Facts4Lance.com when I heard it had been taken down. As you may know, it was a site maintained by Mark Fabiani, Lance’s PR lawyer or whatever the official title is. And it could possibly be the worst PR I have ever seen. With friends like this, who needs enemies? So I am not surprised it was taken down..."

When approached for comment, a rep for CBS News pointed The Hollywood Reporter to a statement news chief Jeff Fager made on June 1: "60 Minutes stands by its story as truthful, accurate and fair. Lance Armstrong and his lawyers were given numerous opportunities to respond to every detail of our reporting for weeks prior to the broadcast and their written responses were fairly and accurately included in the story. Mr. Armstrong still has not addressed charges by teammates Tyler Hamilton and George Hincapie that he used performance enhancing drugs with them."

Seems Scott LeMond knows why they stick together. Via twitter,

ScottLeMond Scott LeMond

Of course Trek is sticking by Lance, both John Burke and Lance like to screw anything that moves. Also Tiger needs a wingman at Nike.

The unspoken idea left off that sentence is Burke sees the opportunity to put millions on Treks. Another guy perfectly willing to capitalize on the suffering of others to turn a profit.

Classy.

The news is catching up with him ...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-...costing-his-cancer-foundation-10-million.html

"Lance Armstrong’s cancer foundation may lose up to $10 milliondonations because of doping accusations against the seven-time Tour de France champion."

The authors of that piece say the Foundation may lose $10mil.
I think the authors' of that piece may not have followed Lance's cycling exploits.

If they did, they would know that Lance performs BEST when he is being boo'ed and spit on and called a doper. Just watch Tours 2000-2005 lol.

There is a chance the Foundation may see an increase - not a decline of $10mil.....
How has the Foundation done lately? (See below)
Seems there is a silver lining in the Novitsky Investigation and the Floyd Letters.
Seems Good can even spring forth from a Witch Hunt:)
