Lance Armstrong’s sponsors don’t support cyclist anymore

The USADA published a report related to doping by the famous American cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to the dossier, this athlete used steroids and other doping products. After publishing several sponsors that donated for Lance Armstrong’s foundation Livestrong decided to cut their links with this sportsman and his charity organization.
One of companies that decided to discontinue sponsoring the organization which fights against cancer is Nike. This company was working much time with the cyclist. Finally Nike claimed that it would not have anything longer with the person who was cheating more than 10 years.
24 Hour Fitness also refused to collaborate with Lance Armstrong anymore.
Some other companies also made the decision to discontinue sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s foundation.
However, the American cyclist tried to do a lot in order to prevent negative influence of his athletic reputation on the foundation that helps individuals the experience cancer to survive. He confirmed that he would not be the chairman of the foundation anymore. However the athlete tried to keep sponsors, he couldn’t do it.
When it comes to the USADA, it concluded that Lance Armstrong was found guilty of doping. As a result, the sportsperson received lifetime suspension. Moreover, he lost all 7 titles obtained at Tour de France.
But the International Cycling Union (ICU) affirmed that the USADA made a wrong decision. Although Lance Armstrong stopped fighting against accusations pronounced by the USADA, the ICU said that it would appeal the decision even without involvement of the sportsperson.
However Lance Armstrong never tested positive for any forbidden preparation, it was concluded that he was guilty of doping. It was affirmed that he used steroids and other banned medications but he used some simple as well sophisticated ways in order to prevent positives. So, the athlete was capable to dope and remain undetectable.
Now the athlete pays for his doping. The decision of some companies to discontinue sponsoring his foundation is a great loss for this person.
