Lance Armstrong’s sponsors cut their tights with his foundation

The USADA published a dossier related to doping by the well-known American cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to the dossier, this athlete took steroids and other related preparations. After publishing several sponsors that donated for Lance Armstrong’s foundation Livestrong decided to cut their relations with this cyclist and his foundation.
One of companies that decided to stop sponsoring the foundation which fights against cancer is Nike. This company was working much time with Lance Armstrong. Ultimately Nike claimed that it would not have anything longer with the sportsperson who was cheating more than 10 years.
24 Hour Fitness also refused to collaborate with Lance Armstrong anymore.
Certain other companies also made the decision to discontinue sponsoring Livestrong.
However, the American cyclist tried to do a lot in order to prevent negative influence of his athletic reputation on the organization which helps persons the experience cancer to survive. He affirmed that he would not be the chairman of the organization anymore. Although the sportsman tried to keep sponsors, he couldn’t do it.
When it comes to the USADA, it affirmed that Lance Armstrong was found guilty of doping. As a result, the cyclist received lifetime suspension. Furthermore, he forfeited all 7 titles acquired at Tour de France.
But the International Cycling Union (ICU) claimed that the USADA made a wrong decision. However Lance Armstrong stopped fighting against accusations pronounced by the USADA, the ICU confirmed that it would appeal the decision even without involvement of the cyclist.
Although Lance Armstrong never tested positive for any prohibited preparation, it was concluded that he was guilty of doping. It was affirmed that he took steroids and other forbidden medicines but he used certain simple as well sophisticated methods in order to prevent positives. Thus, the athlete was able to dope and remain undetectable.
Now Lance Armstrong pays for his cheating. The decision of some companies to discontinue sponsoring his organization is a great loss for this man.
