Outside's Take on what Livestrong does to Fight Cancer

[Phil H]

To say that Bill Gifford is not an LA fan is a bit of an
understatement. He has ruffled the feathers’ of LA more than once;
cutting remarks aimed at winding LA up rather than serious factual
accusations. However, he has written a somewhat bias-free article on
where the money goes and as his article says "he finds a mix of fine
ideas, millions of $s aimed at awareness and a few blurry lines."
The millions of $s at awareness is in contrast to $s for research,
something LS has moved away from. The few blurry lines are the
overlapping interests. LS the organization that doesn't pay LA any
direct remuneration but indirectly promotes him so he is able to
command some very healthy appearance revenue.
Of course there is mention of the ongoing federal investigation and a
couple of questionable comments, for example, Bill's reference to
"similar testimony" from George Hincapie; meaning similar to Floyd's
and Tyler's. Something that has not been disclosed if I'm not
mistaken; unless something has changed.
Obviously a doping conviction will erase all the faith people have put
in LA over the years. However, if you're someone battling cancer that
has benefitted from LS, if asked about whether LA doped, a likely
response inferred by the article would be, "I don't know and I don't f@
%#ing care."
Anyway, an eventful Tuesday will likely breathe life into RBR more
than anything else I can think of.

Damn you Phil ! Lance is racing for the 28 million people with
cancer. Lance is flying in his private jet for the 28 billion people
affected with cancer. ****... he's even getting divorced again so he
can set up another franchise of Armstrong children with a woman that
looks EXACTLY like his aging mother for 28 trillion people living with
cancer.

**** ! Leave the guy alone until at least Saturday. Tuesdays are
already stressful enough for him

The author made a nasty crack, then downplays it
by calling it only "a lame joke."

Then he repeats all the former news:

60 minutes
Floyd Landis
Sports Illustrated
Former teammates going to grand jury.

Quotes other authors implying bad behavior.

Just another attack piece to start the new year right;
and a picture of Lance Armstrong that can only be
appreciated by loving fans.

Actually the Maya predict that Lance will be arraigned this year but it won't
matter because Dark Energy blows the universe up the following Tuesday.

What that reminds me of is the piece in the NYT and
then Laff doing searches on it and posting them. Which
pointed out how much 'news' consists of reporting what
has appeared in the few places that have the staff for
original work.

And you don't think LANCE has anything to do with Dark Energy ? Try
playing his twit feed backwards on an old LP player if you require more
information.

even worse: have journalists gotten so lazy that they find it
acceptable to quote amateurish blogs as reliable news sources?

honestly ... I was waiting for Laff to be mentioned in the article as
an authority on LANCE.

in any case ... it was far more interesting looking at the Lolo Jones
pics. wow.
