NH: Lance Armstrong dumped by Nike
amazing move by Nike and it seems certainly the right call to make.

Interesting considering I read days earlier that they would not budge and were sticking by him.

There's no doubt he has got a very strong desire to win and overcome odds. They way he responded to his cancer shows that.
To compete in world cycling you need to be at the top of your game.
Unfortunately, the overwhelming evidence against him for doping has forced Nike's hand.
He's now as popular as a chokito in a swimming pool.
I wonder if he would consider joining Alan Jones on radio?
Cyclist cheat.... he made a boring sport watchable some of the time. No one wins here

Feel sorry for him - would understand if it was just him but why should he lose all his medals if most of the other cyclists were doping as well. Noone wins here - I still have respect for this man who overcame MANY obstacles in his life. There is a good lesson here for the kids to learn though - don't use performance enhancing drugs - do it through sheer hard work and discipline - in ANY sport!!!
