Here is how quickly they react to news for their clients:
This is Bill Mashek, who works for Public Stratgies in Washington.
Bill also was also spokesman for Trek when they did their media spin when dropping the LeMond brand:
For Immediate Release, April 8, 2008 Contact: Bill Mashek, 920.478.2192 x12755
And more recently when Bill announced that Trek had co-operated with a request to hand over documents to the Feds:

Bilirubin said:They probably took it down because it's misleading. It's not a productive use of someone's time to argue on a chat room with half a dozen people. I'm sure they monitor the general mood on big sites like twitter, but the idea they were responsible for what a lot of Armstrong's supporters did on message boards seems highly unlikely. You may profoundly disagree with criticism of LeMond, but there genuinely has been bad feeling against him from Armstrong fans over the years. It's not manufactured. But of course it's something very difficult to conclusively prove so I can see why people are loathed to give it up as a talking point.
Merckx index said:Read something like "The Sociopath Next Door". Some psychiatrists would argue that sociopaths are found in abundance in the highest levels of business, government, academia, etc. They are far more capable of blending into society than many give them credit for. If they weren't, they wouldn't be so capable of manipulating others so effectively to their own ends.
BroDeal said:Great. BPC has gone full genius--again--and ruined what should have been an interesting thread..
Dr. Maserati said:Hey BPC - how are you doing coming up with more 'experts' that I asked you about?
So - you don't believe the PR firm for a cyclist would check out the largest english speaking cycling website to help (in their words)
Can you explain why Trek retained a different PR to the one they use normally and have Bill Mashek come all the way over from Washington DC to Wisconsin to help put out the LeMond piece?

Bilirubin said:The bottom line is, I just think you should leave it out of the case against him. If you're against doping at the tour, campaign against people like Armstrong doping at the tour. You don't need to trash the charity to help with that case. The charity does a lot of good. The case against LA should stand on its own merits.

From Wikipedia:
the term boiler room refers to a busy center of activity, often selling questionable goods by telephone. It typically refers to a room where salesmen work using unfair, dishonest sales tactics, sometimes selling penny stock or committing outright stock fraud. The term carries a negative connotation, and is often used to imply high-pressure sales tactics and, sometimes, poor working conditions.
BroDeal said:Armstrong's "charity" was a fraud from the very beginning. It was set up with the express purpose of making him money. Whether it does any good or not is incidental to its true goal, which is providing publicity for Armstrong that is used to income, whether that income is derived from speaking fees or product endorsements.
