And just to be clear Matt, as someone who knows of the good, charitable work that you do, and the organization that you support, I fully respect you, your opinion and your concern that this could hurt cancer-related donations. Hopefully, the outcome is that smaller charities, with low overhead and no controversy will ultimately benefit from this.

Mr. Armstrong is a disgrace, and has no one to blame but himself. His notoriety, fame and personal fortune is built on his cheating. And let's not pretend that because everyone was doing it, that somehow Lance is less wrong. He was clearly in charge of everything that happened with the USPS team, and he was clearly willing to throw anyone who crossed him under the bus. His repeated and vehement denials, along with his vindictive bullying and threats of everyone from his teammates to Greg Lemond to Betsy Andreu to his soigneur, is no one's fault but his own. He has benefitted personally and professionally - in notoriety and finances - from his behavior, and now he's paying the price. No sympathy here. Comparing Mr. Armstrong's crimes to those of FDR or MLK is unfair, as are the Michael Vick and Tiger Woods analogies that are being floated around. Armstrong's cheating directly impacted the outcome of his sport and directly benefitted him. That's very different than pointing to indiscretions and imperfections that don't have anything to do the outcome of the sport or politics. Maybe Livestrong can thrive without Armstrong, though I doubt it. You know better than I, but I suspect that (as has been suggested elsewhere) that cancer donations are a zero-sum proposition. As someone who has previously donated to Livestrong, I don't intend to pocket that extra money now, but rather will donate it to other cancer related charities. If Livestrong goes away, there are plenty of worthy organizations that donors can support. Perhaps Livestrong (via Ulman and Armstrong) could help direct their former donors in that direction. This way, those who simply want to support a good cause will continue to do so, and the fanboys who refuse to believe that their hero could ever do wrong, will still have an outlet for their Lance-fueled donations.

I like it so much because it really lets me coach. I can watch everyone since you're never that far away from me, so I feel like I can give more substantive advice, as opposed to going out for a run or a ride with a group that comes apart.

Just speaking the truth. And its interesting to hear about the relay. Relays are just a peeve of mine, but obviously its up to you guys. Its clear that a lot of others enjoy them. Keep up the good work.
