I'm guessing Nike said we'll continue to be involved if you step down.

Lance Armstrong stepped down as chairman of his Livestrong cancer-fighting charity and Nike severed ties with him as fallout from the doping scandal swirling around the famed cyclist escalated Wednesday.
Armstrong announced his move at the charity in an early-morning statement. Within minutes, Nike said that it would end its relationship with him "due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade."
Nike said it will continue to support Livestrong.

Nike might be working it's way away from Armstrong for other reasons

Nike reportedly paid $500,000 to the former president of Union Cycliste Internationale, the governing body for sports cycling and international competitions, to cover up one of Lance Armstrong's positive drug tests, according to a report Tuesday from the New York Daily News. Nike denied any involvement in covering up doping allegations.
