Livestrong says SKC owes $750k

On the other side, SKC says Livestrong is built on a throne of lies.

Both sides lose in this battle.

Well the doping isn't the issue with me. It's the fact that he is a massive dick bag, lied for years and set out to ruin anyone's life who "accused him." He's a shite person who cheated. The fact that he won some races in a corrupt sport means little.

Somewhere someone's sister, daughter, mother, brother, husband or wife is still alive and healthy because of the money generated through the LIVESTRONG project. If a guy riding a bicycle had to duck into a tent in the shadows of France to break the rules to make that happen then I'm ok with that. I don't blame KC or any other partner for severing ties with Lance Armstrong or his beneficiaries in the wake of this recent revelation, however, there are issues far more important that bike riding, football, or any other pastime in this equation. In this case, the end justified the means.

I agree... The guy sucks for the reasons you mentioned...

I'm glad that something good has come from his sham, in regards to the Livestrong efforts cause cancer is a mean motherfricker...

Massive dick bag - does a shite ton more for cancer support than 99% of rich people even. hmm

Anyhow everyone knows that all of the bikers were doping, people just make a big deal out of him because he's a big deal.

Exactly why I dont care about this latest announcement. Pretty much every single one of his competitors has been popped. Honestly, how many winners of the Tour in the past 10 years havent been caught for doping?

But the problem is that he vehemently denied it for years and even went as far as suing people who were telling the truth about him.

If he would've come clean earlier, people wouldn't be up in arms. He overcame cancer and won all those titles. Sure, he doped, but cycling is a dirty sport. I think people would've been more forgiving if he would've admitted it earlier instead of denying AND trying to ruin other people's lives in the process.

Maybe he thought it would destroy both his own success and that of his foundation and was trying to protect it? we don't know.

It's interesting... Bernie Madoff was a huge philanthropist, donating $6mm to lymphoma research alone...

But he destroyed people's lives and I dont see anyone taking up for him...

I realize its not exactly apples to apples...

Now, Beast, he did say this after I expounded on his point:
