I make no secret of my support for LIVESTRONG, even despite the bad press over the past year surrounding Lance’s admission of doping. Today was a tough day for LIVESTRONG as Nike publicized it’s decision to discontinue the LIVESTRONG line of gear they produce….
Every time I think I’m done writing about Lance Armstrong and how he affects LIVESTRONG, the story takes another turn. When I wrote down my thoughts about Lance after the USADA report came out in October, it felt definitive at the time. Time has…
