People have been critical of armstrong, but for some reason they use kid gloves on livestrong. this is an organization that itself has used strong-arm tactics on journalists to keep them from writing negative stories about the organization. and they don't even do any grant writing anymore, making their main cause "awareness." to me, that is just another way of saying their main cause is publicity. sporting as said that they are going to donate more money to cancer research, just not livestrong. this way, it will actually maybe help people rather than finance BS publicity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-72907202411924455412013-01-16T07:04:06.799-06:002013-01-16T07:04:06.799-06:00"Giving $1million to a foundation that might ..."Giving $1million to a foundation that might turn around and use that money for it's own legal defense isn't exactly the intention donors have."<br /><br />Outstanding point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-25549438945703344492013-01-15T22:57:00.050-06:002013-01-15T22:57:00.050-06:00You can be absolutely certain there is contractual...You can be absolutely certain there is contractual language in the original agreement that alludes to Armstrong's status. Furthermore, I am sure, since Armstrong basically admitted to perjury (among other things) by ending his fight a few months ago, Ongoal has been doing it's legal homework and preparations. <br /><br />I wouldn't doubt Ongoal stopped paying, once they saw were Armstrong was going and LIVESTRONG with him (they are inseparable, unfortunately). Giving $1million to a foundation that might turn around and use that money for it's own legal defense isn't exactly the intention donors have.<br /><br />So, in one way, there's probably truth to both sides, but you really can't blame Ongoal for this debacle. It all rests with Lance Armstrong- it just does.Reepicheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01614939842967705669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36669930.post-85417380927092536932013-01-15T21:56:46.231-06:002013-01-15T21:56:46.231-06:00They were selling off the LIVESTONG stuff from the...They were selling off the LIVESTONG stuff from the Sporting Store like they were out-of-date eggs.
