God knows mate - but even kids so young it's cruel to believe it is possible get it .... cruel disease

Seriously, if a foundation aimed at helping cancer sufferers is doing a great job then who gives a f$$$ where the motivation for its beginning was.

1 year ago almost exactly I watched a great Man who gave to so many (700 at the funeral!) die a horrific death from it. I don't care who's name is on it as long as someone has the motivation.

I mean look at the Bayer company, a world wide conglomerate that made a lot of profit manufacturing the poisonous gas used to kill millions of Jews. Does anyone not buy Bayer products now?? Extreme example right, but just saying that this is doing good not bad and you want to judge some dude in silly pants and shaved legs and criticise Livestrong because of it????

Ps. Find out what he was on and give it to them all, it obviously brings you back after the Chemo and radiation.

He won't go to jail

Foundation was set up after the first or second tour I thing.

I thing the foundation will still stand and give people the hope, or at least I hope it does. The stories while originating with lance are more than just his story now but the stories of everyone that's been apart of the foundation.

In the end of the day he may have cheated, lied, been a prick but he had a terminal cancer and then fought back and rode the tour 9 time plus a bunch of other races and now does triathlons. Does it make any of it right, no, but its still pretty impressive if I wanted something to give me hope it wouldn't be a bad place to start.

My wife read an article, and it seems to be confirmed that he was on 'everything' before cancer... Make you wonder if it did bring on cancer... Who knows... just speculation at this stage...

yeah, they let a lot of people off the hook if they thought they could use them.

one of the strangest things ever is the noble peace prize, the guy who produced nitroglycerin.

yes, he still did way wrong and thats a fact

livestrong is a good thing.

bikie christmas runs for charity is a good thing. doesn't stop them from murdering people, dealing in drugs etc

interesting read in light of your comments, from his former mechanic ....... livestrong was very big in "raising (lance's?)awareness" how much they contributed to cancer sufferers may well be another.....?

a bit more from greg lemonde's wife

Hi All,
Great response and many valid points. If I can just change the track for a second.
I'm not condoning his cheating, nor all the others that were doing it, but I believe he would still have won a few tours without the juice, as he was a great rider anyway. The juice can't turn a good rider into a great rider, no matter what you take.

Sorry 62mac,
Was it fresh or bottled?

That explains why the drug testers didn't get you.
