Lance: I am not banned from life. Period. - LIVESTRONG Series Coming
Quote | Reply
I played in a golf tournament yesterday that benefits LIVESTRONG. Lance was there, played a few holes, and spoke at the lunch event. It was interesting to hear him talk. He had some good stories ("one ball left" in golf is now the "Lance Armstrong"). He also danced around the topic of this thread and noted his message will need to be delivered in a new way. Basically, the same quote that was noted in the Triathlete interview below. Read the last sentence. Watch out WTC, here comes a LIVESTRONG series. Thoughts?

Can you elaborate on your “attempt to be the fittest 40-year old on the planet”? Does it relate to any specific training/racing goals?
LA: Well, as I was reminded today on my trail run with Derick Williamson and Lance Parker – I am 41. Ha! Spotting these fellas a decade. Nonetheless, I have no intention of sitting still regardless [of] what anybody says. I am not banned from life. Period. I will continue to push myself and push others. There are a lot of other physical challenges out there and I plan on finding them and testing myself and continuing to spread the LIVESTRONG message worldwide. Lastly, there has been considerable interest in a separate “stand alone” series of endurance related events benefiting LIVESTRONG so this is something we are actively exploring. Stay tuned.

He said that with Radio Shack and several others in the room. All were playing in the tournament. Dude has some supporters in the right places.

if @RaceRadio, @NYVelocity, or @DavidCoyle are to be believed, people won't touch him with a 10 foot pole after the full evidence comes out from the USADA investigation.

I think if he did Sprints, Olympics and runs up to 13.1; they all would be wildly accepted. Maybe one marathon located somewhere that would draw people (he'd probably chose Texas though).

I don't think a marathon series, 70.3 or Ironman would do well though.... just opinion. Though with that said, I bet if Livestrong put on an Ironman event; participants would be more than well taken care of in comparison to IM.

...and Nike. I could see it actually working and doing fairly well. The only trade off is you won't get a USAT score. [pink]

Maybe then it will be time for events with integrity to step up and ban anyone racing in any of his events where he participates.

I'd certainly consider that.

Somehow I don't see this series being USAT sanctioned/certified (whatever the correct term is)

I just do not understand why you are saying screw the rules, you want to make them the way you want them to be under the term "integrity"?
I thought you were a guy who followed the rules, and if you did not like them, worked with the process to get them changed.

If LiveStrong can deliver quality events and a decent value then I'm all for it!

In all seriousness, if any RD started banning innocent participants simply because they participate in a Livestrong event, they would immediately be off my list of events in which I would participate.

An extremely short-sided strategy, IMO.

That's an absurd comment driven by emotion. Why in the hell would any race not accept someones money because they raced with Lance. He is one man that had the tyrannical leader of one group with a lot of resources after him. This forum amazes me sometimes. Reminds me of a quote from Herman Cain- "Stupid people are ruining America".

It's not a question of strategy, it's a question of integrity. That event would clearly show that it does not support cheaters. Let others be greedy, like that Rev3 FullHalf BS.

Note: only participants in events that Armstrong also races. Don't make assumptions. Read.

This isn't about integrity, it is looking for a pound of flesh and wanting to get to Armstrong by punishing the innocent.. Such a strategy only makes you look childish. It will have zero effect in terms of effecting change.

Look, I am not a LA supporter. In fact, I think he is a world-class pr*ck adn am glad the USADA is pursuing their case. But punishing people who participate in events where he is present is just dumb.

It's a statement if someone supports a bully and a cheater. There is too much choice out there.

Events already decide who they want to have participate. That's exactly where USAT/USAC/USATF sanctioning comes into play. Certain events are obliged to allow certain participants if the event is sanctioned. Vice-versa it's only fair if federations ban athletes competing in non-sanctioned events.
