Based on this, I think his 7 TdF titles should be restored. Also his buddy, Floyd's. And Levi's podium.Lance Armstrong wrote: @lancearmstrong
I can’t drop many people on a bike these days but I just blew the *f##k*’ doors off Mike Pence on a Nantucket bike path. Day. Made.

Not a lot of people know that Lance made his money from the Livestrong foundation. It raised around 500 million and less than 5% actually went to cancer research. LOL. I'm not saying he took all the rest but one can make an educated guess.stella-azzurra wrote: ↑Sun Mar 02, 2014 5:48 pmLance's new house is apparently bigger than his previous: 12,000 sqf vs 7800 sqf but with a smaller yard LOL.

All the above. Have been following the sport for over 50 years. Big stars like Coppi, Anquetil freely admitted it; Merckx was at it along with all his peers; Hinault refused dope tests; then we got a 'clean' new sport until jiffy bags and the Sky BS started.AJS914 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 5:14 pmHow does Lance bite the dust again? I read the article. I don't read anything revolutionary there.
Lance Armstrong gets all the attention because he was a a-*hole. I get that. But, the whole sport looks the other way as previous dopers are still celebrated. It doesn't make a lot of sense.
I am not a Lance fan, but that's a pretty strong statement. Any large scale charity gets audited, and I very much doubt he skimmed money off the top - it would have absolutely destroyed his legacy (prior to the admission of doping), not something he would have done (IMHO). As I understand it, the Livestrong foundation was not founded to fund cancer research, but rather to offer support to cancer patients and their families (paying bills, obtaining accommodations and services).northwestern wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 5:57 pmNot a lot of people know that Lance made his money from the Livestrong foundation.

I am not a Lance fan and am not defending him, but you need to read a little (lot) more as mentioned above, Livestrong was and still is about 'cancer survivorship' in which the organiztion provides resources and information for patients and families who are aflicted by/living with cancer. While Lance did benefit from being a board member and conducting promotional events, the bulk of his wealth came through salaries and other financial vehicles, not to mention payouts from the numerous lawsuits his legal team pursued during his racing career!northwestern wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 5:57 pmNot a lot of people know that Lance made his money from the Livestrong foundation.

Right, just like not a lot of people know that Jimmy Hoffa lives on the moon.northwestern wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2019 5:57 pmNot a lot of people know that Lance made his money from the Livestrong foundation.
