News across the wire this morning...Nike dumped Lance after 10 years. Lance has also stepped down from his cancer foundation...tho will stay on the board word is. So the glass house is crumbling. A remarkable collapse of an icon that so many believed in.
What is ironic is Nike standing by Tiger in spite of amoral behavior through his personal crisis. But it isn't clear that Tiger ever cheated in his sport...too bad their isn't more steroid scrutiny in golf. Tiger 'only' cheated on his wife and kids and the public he portrayed to as the quinessential family guy.

"Due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade, it is with great sadness that we have terminated our contract with him," the company said in a statement. "Nike does not condone the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs in any manner."

I believe he cut a seriously large settlement with her to keep her quiet as well as a deal with his no.1 ho who he reputedly paid $10 million to..to shut her up.

My view and only that is the ONLY reason why Tiger 'protected' his ex was because of fear of a tell all book of course his kids.

Market value decision not a moral one

The exodus has begun. Along with Nike, Trek, Anheuser-Busch, RadioShack, and Giro all terminated their endorsement contracts with Armstrong today. Even Honey Stinger, which is partially owned by Armstrong, is taking his image off of their packaging. I'm actually surprised it took this long.

Well, Vick did his time. Admitted fault and is back to playing. Tiger, to a certain degree, has done the same. Both had issues off the field. Lance's situation involves cheating in his sport and continuously denying and lying about it. Nike even had a commercial referencing the naysayers about LA. He has yet to admit he doped. Quite a different situation.

another doper's involvement with cycling...
Speaking of dispicable sports 'heros' with linkage to doping and now cycling, check out Bond's latest love.
Of course meat head Bonds is on a Venge as he needs the aero advantage since he is the size of a regrigerator due to years of roiding. Gotta love the $18K pricetag. Where are the fussy dice?

Except for the oversized melon. Bone growth fueled by HGH doesn't shrink once you stop using, they say.
Someone wrote that the easiest way to ID ballplayers who used HGH was to get New Era to release data on their changing hat sizes though the years.
Of course, this could all be just urban legend.

You'd probably notice an increase in hand size, too. And shoe size. Slight increases.

Are you suggesting that pointy elbows is a side effect of hgh ? Maybe bodybuilders just eat a lot of spinach.
