Lance Armstrong’s athletic reputation influences on his foundation negatively

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