| And yes- I have won the TdF seven times |
Now,
I know it is long gone and over but despite being stripped of all titles
including 7 Tour de France title wins, Lance Armstrong opened his speech at the
World Cancer Congress Conference in Montreal with "I thought in line of
recent events, I should re-introduce myself- My name is Lance Armstrong, I am a
cancer survivor, I am a father of five, and yes- I have won the Tour de France seven times.” link The angle of
approach in which he is approaching this situation is rare but clearly it is
effective. The fact that world authorities have banned him and he still has it
in him to get back up and say something that controversial, and with such
ease shows what kind of man this is- a true humanitarian. People can say what
they want, it clearly only adds fuel to this guy's drive. Personally, I don’t
think someone would say something that powerful unless of course they mean it.
Lance’s PR strategies do exactly what he wants- Creates hype but people seem to
be blind at the fact that any negativity towards Armstrong only makes him
persist more. Big ups, Lance.
Keep Pedaling.
