Why won't Julich wear a LIVESTRONG band?

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Hey,

I know that Bobby Julich is trying to mend old fences, and
kick start his tired career again. I know that he has
harbored a HUGE amount of jealousy towards Lance since
Bobby wore back number #1 in the 1999 Tour de France, only
to crash out miserably in the TT at Metz.

If he is sincere about getting past all this hatred, why
doesn't he put on a LIVESTRONG band? I know the winners of
the past 5 stages have them.

Anybody know Bobby personally?

Thanks, Ronde Champ

Maybe someone is passing them out to stage winners and they
forgot to give one to Bobby. Who really cares?

Who cares? If there is so much pressure to wear them (from
the likes of you or any other "fans") what is the
significance of the band? It certainly does not indicate
that an individual is supportive. It is more like they don't
want to catch any criticism so they wear the damn thing.
Shoot, even Carmichael "left mine at the hotel". Why would
you *expect* Bobby to wear it if CC does not even care
enough to do so? Wearing it means you gave what, a dollar?
Wow, there are much more important things (or a lot more
money from star athletes) that can be done.

Are you wearing yours? If so, you are a homer. If not, you
are a hypocrite.

Why not focus on the real story, which is why Nike can only
afford 1 million to the fund? I'll admit that 1 million is a
great help to the fund. But for a company that netted 945
million on 12.3 billion in sales in the fiscal year just
ended, 1 million seems paltry.

I've been wearing mine for a couple of weeks and while
riding in the 98 degree heat around here. It's beginning to
Smellstrong.

Because he's not some Armstrong sycophant and has got enough
integrity to be his OWN man. Sometimes NOT playing follow
the leader is worthy of greater respect than the minions who
imitate the latest trend. Come to think of it, I haven't
noticed his tattoo or a stud earring either.

Pssh. How much of their profits need to go to *your*
favorite charity anyway? What percentage of your salary did
you give to "Live right"?

What!? Too low!

If you go by what my net is after expenses? A hell of
a lot more.

Add a familial investment in genetic research...

Not unless you add everything Nike contributes to charity as
well. You limited the discussion to "Live right", not me.

*Real* philanthropists don't need to advertise the fact.

seriously, who gives a rats ass who is wearing them- Just by
the fact that Al (I am so Bored) Troutwig keeps talking
about them and asking Carmichael about his - makes me want
to take mine off - I have noticed the yellow band is quickly
showing up on every douche in town - It was cool 4 weeks
ago, I think it has Jumped the SHark last Friday
