2012 TDF Thread
You guys see this article in Outside Magazine. Has to best at least the 5th article about Lance in the past few years....this one is an interesting read....not sure what to make of it or what the author is trying to accomplish....Rippy, please read and provide your usual anti-Lance commentary....first time I have read about Livestrong in such a negative way. Has no impact on my man crush on all things Lance.....

WOW......Livestrong is a scam ! What a shocker !!!!!!!!!
Glanced the first paragraph. Sorry, big guy.....this is very old news. In fact, I remember this topic coming up in here before, but I'm guessing you were too busy yapping away to listen.
BTW, Outside Magazine is for wannbe outdoorsie-types. Don' be a wanker....upgrade to some cycling-specific news sources.

It can't be very fun to be Lance right now...
The Livestrong thing is a web of complexity ... set up by professional PR consultants, advisors, attorneys, etc. for maximum gain for the 501(c) and Lance. Throw Lance's "I wants" on top of that and you have a real mess, I'm sure. Audited and still holds its 501(c) status, so ....

I call the Livestrong, LA brand a brilliant business move....
And Rippy, I would expect nothing less from you...jesus you have an opinion on magazines now. I for one, like Outside...good varieity of articles, sports covered, etc. If you dont like it, dont read it...my point was to get a conversation started about TDF and biking....by the way the author had about 1000 tweets in one days last week after it hit the newstand.

Imagine, an independent third party audit firm says Livestrong is compliant with 501(c)??!
This article is brutal, Tabloid style crap.

You're full of s***...that wasn't your point at all.
Who gives a s*** how many tweets the author got ? Popular doesn't mean high quality.
Agree on the brilliant business move, assuming you think defrauding several million cancer victims is OK...LA's got plenty of dough AND he's got you conned !
So, who do you like in the Spring Classics?
