As a matter of fact, if memory serves me, physicians began to examine physical activity with cancer patients as an enhancement to treatment after his exceptional career.
Nike Inc (click title to entry - thank you) plans to continue to support Lance Armstrong even after the seven-time Tour de France cycling champion is stripped of his titles for deciding to no longer fight charges of doping, while bicycle maker Trek is analyzing the situation.
"Lance has stated his innocence and has been unwavering on this position. Nike plans to continue to support Lance and the Lance Armstrong Foundation, a foundation that Lance created to serve cancer survivors ," Nike said in a prepared statement Friday.
Late on Thursday, Armstrong said he would no longer fight allegations from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency that he cheated throughout his career by using performance enhancing drugs....
The idea that Lance Armstrong had an advantage due to injections of erythropoietin as an adjunct therapy to maintain his blood levels while undergoing cancer therapy is simply outrageous. He was not 100% well. His physical condition was challenged standing still without a cycling. This is a hideous decision.They are punishing a hero to many, many people inside and outside the cycling community. None of this makes sense. I think he should start his own cycling organization. Seriously. Set his own standards.
