Doping costs for Lance Armstrong much

The USADA released a dossier related to doping by the well-known American cyclist Lance Armstrong. According to the report, this athlete applied steroids and other related products. After publishing certain sponsors that donated for Lance Armstrong’s foundation Livestrong decided to cut their links 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 Lance Armstrong. Finally Nike announced that it would not have anything longer with the athlete that was cheating more than 10 years.
24 Hour Fitness also refused to work with Lance Armstrong anymore.
Several other companies also made the decision to discontinue sponsoring Lance Armstrong’s charity organization.
However, Lance Armstrong tried to do anything in order to prevent negative influence of his athletic reputation on the foundation that helps persons with cancer to survive. He claimed that he would not be the chairman of the organization anymore. However the sportsperson 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, he received lifetime ban. Furthermore, he forfeited all 7 titles acquired at Tour de France.
But the International Cycling Union (ICU) confirmed that the USADA made a wrong decision. Although Lance Armstrong discontinued fighting against accusations pronounced by the USADA, the ICU affirmed that it would appeal the decision even without involvement of the sportsperson.
However Lance Armstrong never tested positive for any prohibited medication, it was concluded that he was guilty of doping. It was stated that he took steroids and other prohibited substances but he used some simple as well sophisticated methods in order to prevent positives. So, he was able to dope and remain undetectable.
Now the athlete pays for his doping. The decision of some companies to stop sponsoring his foundation is a great loss for this man.
