Armstrong Appeals to Cancer Supporters

http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/19/us/lance-armstrong/index.html

In recent events, Lance Armstrong has been accused of doping and there has been a lot of evidence that proves him guilty. Many people such as Daniel and Connie Roddy who have donated thousands of dollars to the Livestrong franchise feel betrayed and are demanding their money back. They believe that since Armstrong has been titled as a fraud, that the Livestrong company is also unreliable. The fact is that Armstrong has more than just his own reputation to worry about, but is also responsible for a huge cancer charity company. Since his accusation, the company has lost sponsorships such as Nike. However, the author of the article reminds the readers that Livestrong is about more than the success or failures of Armstrong, but about taking a stand to cancer. Armstrong himself has been elusive with matters pertaining to his doping, but has spoken out about still supporting the movement to end cancer. The author includes both sides of the argument, but ends with the conclusion that people should still support Livestrong because it is an important cause and that is what people should pay attention to, not the scandal that arises from Armstrong.
