actually, Armstrong holds numerous stakes, or profit centres associated with the Livestrong marque.

Who owned the Livestrong TM. Did Armstrong, or the charity. Because Armstrong has acted like he owned the copyright to the brand.

"Livestrong" is a trademark registered to

Floyd/Kali the destroyer. I wanted to see Floyd/Hamilton in the ToC last year to see what they could accomplish, this year I could care less after Tyler was banished once again. Those two are a pair. Floyd/ the anti Armstrong forum posters are out of their gourds. The breaking of OMERTA needs to take place in baby steps. Obviously Floyd/Forum posters do not follow other major sports.

The bottom line is this, all sports need to clean up. If Floyd/Forum/LeMond/Walsh/Betsy/Cosy beehive/Joe Papp choose to focus on Postal/Discovery/Bruyneel/Armstrong/Contador that is fine and dandy. However the ramifications are these individuals will push American cycling sponsorships and American racers away.

The other more important problem is it will make it easier for the other major professional sports to finger point at Lance /Shack pro and amatuer cycling and
basically show our sport to be BS a harbinger of cheats. While the major sports cheat and cheating will most likely amplify.

If I were an intelligent kid after all this comes down I would never even ride my bike to school after what is coming up. The bike industry is going to take a major downfall in what will happen now in the next 2 years. We must stand up and applaud Walsh/Betsy/Cosy Beehive/Joe Papp/ Mr. LeMond and Floyd Landis. It will be up to you folks to resurect the carnage and destuction on global cycling which Floyd Landis has precipitated.

I think we in America will be set back in cycling 30 years.

I am sorry about Bahati. It will happen to all US cycling in the next 2 years.

Great! I can get a lot of gear at fire sale rates.

Maybe I'll get a project one Madone, Pharmstrong special.

Freaking hilarious. It's not the corrupt system at fault, not the dopers, but those who have told the truth. Just another douchebag who wants to shoot the messenger.

I don't think he's wrong that the system is going to take a major hit. I think it's sick that he focuses the blame for that on the messengers. Cheap, cowardly, bully tactics. No wonder he's a Lance fan.

Baby steps will never work, it's rotten to the core. Funny thing was that in the 90's you could hardly find a road bike in a shop anymore. Lance killed the MTB industry. Why isn't anyone ****ed about that? Idiots.

He has a stake in demand media along with LAF from the adverts, and given he helps promote LAF that is more than fair. He makes no money at all from LAF sold gear.

Where does it say that any proceeds from Livestrong.com go to LAF? Which helps promote which? Is it:

(a) Celebrities wearing Livestrong armbands help promote Livestrong.com?

Or

(b) People who happen to be googling for health and fitness advise, stumble on Livestrong.com, and decide that it would be a great idea to donate to LAF.

If you don't know the (logically) correct answer, I'll post it in a later message for you.

thehog says he will be asked to come back next week.

The Hog said that an announcement about the investigation (and a request he return to States) will come Monday.

Monday, May 31st. A national holiday.

its called tall poppy syndrome. all those out there that are convinced everything he's done for the sport and cancer research should be ripped apart are just - worthless sad jealous little inferior unimportant people with a chip on their shoulder somehow thinking that their narrow opinion on the subject should change the world in their mind better !
wtf get a clue and follow some other sport and cry into your pillows there.

i dont care if he's doped and personally, i think he has done it.
but his positives far outweigh that negative considering most of the peleton was doing it too!

Please HTFU and get with the Lance hating program. This is cyclingnews forum for gods sake.

Meanwhile, if Lance says he's riding the Tour of Luxemborg next week, and the Dauphine in order to prepare for the Tour, when is he going to find the time to meet with federal investigators who'd like him to come back to the US to answer some questions?

Luxembourg and the Dauphine both race on June 6, so he can't do both unless he keeps up his streak of abandons.

The tour has always been "doping days" and hasn't Fignon recently admitted to taking stuff?

In a word, YES.
