The awakening has begun from corporate America. Amen. Blatantly dope- we won't sponsor you. Amen.

My news feed also says he just "stepped down as Chairman of Livestrong"

Bring back Jack Mott. It is looking like he was right all along.

I think trek would be the bigger question.

Doesn't Lance own part of Trek? That may be trickier.

Doh, yeah....Considering he was given an equity stake in the company that could get legally complicated.

My sister actually works for trek corporate here in Waterloo WI and she sent me a letter they circulated around the Company when all this had originally started. It basically stated that they were going to stand with him. We will have to see if that stance changes.

Isn't he part or majority owner of Sram also?
Re: NIKE NO LONGER SPONSORING LANCE! [ferchkc09]

I would say that if all or most of the sponsors bail, trek will too.

When was it circulated? When it all started could mean a few years ago, or last August.

It was when the USADA brought the charges up in early summer? Right when he was banned from sanctioned races.

He may be an investor or part owner, but no way is he the majority owner. SRAM is a pretty large multinational company with many subsidaries. LA has money but not that kind of money.

OMG whats going to happen to Honey Stringer. They base there whole brand on Lance using the product

Nike have always been a very good judge of public sentiment. I reckon this is a fairly good sign of Lance's fading support.

Great news
Now I can sleep again

Damn, the foundation is beginning to crumble. I love me some Lance, but if he really did do all that is said and had just come out and said he did it years ago, we wouldn't be here now:-(
