USADA - Armstrong

[mastersracer]

Wow! that's a lot of money. Enough money to retire on. No need to come back with that sort of money. You know like in 2009

You stated he was poor. I posted published figures indicating he is not. Obviously, Armstrong did not come out of retirement for financial reasons. Do you have a credible source for your claim that he is poor?

In other words, you can't back up your statement.

I hope he's broke. I'm confident he's not... yet anyways.

He's not broke. But he's not as rich as he leads people to believe.

Livestrong.com has been doing very well:

The spammers at Demand Media who run Livestrong.com are the Michele Ferrari of search engine optimization.

Which strongly suggests that any search engine they target will end up demoting their results because they are so low-quality. It's an arms race that the search engines must win.

Lance isn't broke. But I haven't see much support for the $125M figure.

Ah, the irony of posting a link from Richbutbroke.com to support the contention that Lance is uber-rich!

You got me that link is 100% certifiably correct. I mean read the Bio on Armstrong from your link. I also love how they break down the costs - Did they just makes these numbers up? That’s amazing. hahah! For a man obsessed by power numbers this is what you give me? you have to be kidding!! LOL!

Ummm do you think these guys knows what's being going on of late? Like the Federal investigation or USADA?

This is sooo funny!

Thanks for the celerbrity.com!!! Classic!

It's hard to imagine the pain that Lance Armstrong went through to accomplish all he has done. With every pedal stoke he has taken toward his seven consecutive Tour de France victories, Armstrong has built a lasting legacy that appears to be infallible. With all his diverse interests, his net worth now hovers at $134,468,563.

Armstrong has taken on the tallest peaks in the Alps, the excruciating pain of testicular cancer and gone on to humble the most elite athletes in the world. The American cycling phenomena continues to express his maxims through his Livestrong Foundation as he pushes all round to be aware of their health and to continue to monitor personal progress.

The singular accomplishment of winning one Tour de France would satisfy most human beings. To have two or even three yellow jerseys adorn your body puts must in the penultimate realm, but Armstrong always wanted more. Even after retiring with the seventh consecutive victory, Armstrong has returned to the tour in his late 30s attempting to fly by the peloton one more time. He knows no quit.

Armstrong now has strong sponsor and endorsements with a host of large companies. He has partnered with a sports drink company and with Nike. He sponsors a bike company, a health food company and outdoor athletic gear. His name brings attention, the desired effect of recognition and his continued effect in competition sports. I wouldn't be too surprised to see him taking these triathlons more and more serious.

His brand, Livestrong, make for a perfect match with Nike. According to sales records, the bright yellow band that connotes cancer research has sold over 70 million times.


Suggestions: Armstrong is riding easy with his exercise products, deal with Nike and the awareness he brings to his Livestrong foundation. The divorce didn't help anything but he seems resilient and productive.

Bottom Line: By controlling his lifestyle and spending less than he makes, Lance earns $8,926,563 per year after lifestyle, taxes and other expenses.

three other sources listing his new wealth at $125,000,000 and one from Forbes ranking him 65th in the top earning celebrities of 2010 with an annual income then of $20,000,000. I don't have access to his financial books or tax returns, so those are the best sources I have. You stated he is poor. Can you provide any source of his legal costs fighting USADA have caused him financial ruin? You can continue to attempt the mocking misdirection in your replies, but the lack of substantive content speaks for itself.

I'm still laughing at this link:

"Armstrong has returned to the tour in his late 30s attempting to fly by the peloton one more time. He knows no quit"

" I wouldn't be too surprised to see him taking these triathlons more and more serious.'

- Gold Jerry, gold!

I want more!

"The singular accomplishment of winning one Tour de France would satisfy most human beings. To have two or even three yellow jerseys adorn your body puts must in the penultimate realm, but Armstrong always wanted more"

- Oh and when did $8,926,563 before 10m?

More!

"He sponsors a bike company..." - really? A bike company?

This link is extremely factual!

But you said he makes 10m but your source said $8,926,563? Which is it?

and now more links? What's up with that?

Are you trying to convince me or yourself?

Just read the fine print on one of the new links you sent:

Earnings estimates are for June 1, 2009 to June 1, 2010. Includes dollars earned solely from entertainment income. Management, agent and attorney fees have not been deducted. Figures rounded off where appropriate.

- This has been the best laugh I've had all day! OMG!

Keep them coming! I'm loving this!

Obviously, Armstrong did not come out of retirement for financial reasons.

So what was the reason he came out of retirement? (this will be a good one)

 

[Microchip]

To move the goalpost for Alberto Contador whose progress was moving like a bullet. Under Lance's own former directeur sportif who took him to 7 wins, Contador would have eclipsed Lance's record. He cannot handle that thought.

nor can I, tbh.
one monumental cheater, pathological liar and major league doper eclipsing the other? would have been "adiós, cycling".

I rounded up the income figure to 10M since it is an estimate and would have annual variations. I would rather cite a rounded up figure than none at all.

Mocking misdirection highlights, not conceals, your unsubstantiated claims.

Can you list a single source substantiating your claim that Armstrong is 'poor' or that his return was motivated by financial problems?

You appear to just make things up and then resort to attacks when challenged or asked to substantiate your claims.

 

[Velodude]

You know financial prospects are dire when you sell off the corporate jets.

Armstrong's historical favorite toy, the Blackberry, can no longer compete with the fresh cutting edge competition. So the manufacturer plans to put the corporate jets on the block.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/jul/10/rim-research-in-motion-corporate-jets-blackberry.

Armstrong put his jet up for sale when he faced the daunting prospect of funding a legal battle against the US government.

His political ties and donations by Livestrong saved his neck.

I wonder if he withdrew the jet from the market. If so, I would suggest he would be contacting the aircraft brokers again.

Armstrong would also be aware that WADA financially assisted USADA to sanction Floyd Landis. So USADA has not limited funds to engage Armstrong.

 

[Turner29]

Great idea. Half way through the Olympics shut USADA down!

Keep in mind that the Olympic Games have powerful sponsors would want to see their investment untainted by scandal and at least shows the "appearance" of being fairly contested. Thus, the USADA is needed.

GE, owner of NBC, is far, far more powerful than Armstrong and Livestrong.

 

[Ninety5rpm]

Why has the judge not dismissed the case yet?

 

[Turner29]

He's not broke. But he's not as rich as he leads people to believe.

What then, is your definition of "rich"? If that is a net worth of over a billion US dollars, yes, Armstrong is poor.

I can accept a net worth figure of about $100 million. In my book, that is rich.

 

[JA.Tri]

Does the USADA arbitration have the facility to levy fines?

 

[Turner29]

So what was the reason he came out of retirement? (this will be a good one)

Do you actually believe Armstrong came out of retirement because he needed income money from racing? The Michelob Ulta commercials alone would provide him substantial income. Presumably Livestrong.com also provides an income stream, not to mention many other endorsement and advertising contracts.

Stop being so serious all the time!

Why didn't you round to 9m? Why go up an extra million? You're meant to be the sport scientist on this forum but you sure are fast and loose with the numbers!

I've seen the sites you presented. They base income on twitter, Facebook and google news appearances. They do not use financial data. It's all written there in the footer of the sites you provided.

As per assets what does he own to amass 135m? A house? One house? shares in demand and livestrong.com? Apart from the house the Internet investments are paper. If he was to sell he'd be hard pushed to amass 10m. The art collection 1m max. Wine 500k. The divorce settlement still has to pay out.

He actually owns very little and his income is drying up fast.

You know this of course but you just want to fight with me for the sake of it.

If he was worth 135m he wouldn't be fighting USADA so hard. SCA will come knocking along with countless others.*

Like i said. Apply some common sense to the situation and you'll find I'm right. You're too busy trying to be Mr. Link and tripped over yourself in the process
