Will you continue to wear:

Your Livestrong wristband,
Your Livestrong Giro helmet,
Your Livestrong Oakley sunglasses,
Your USPS, Discovery, Radioshack jersey, shorts, socks
Your Nike Livestong Shoes,
and ride your Trek Livestrong bike?

Livestrong wristband - yes, I just like the colour, and to be fair I've worn it for I don't know how many years non-stop, so it just stays on
My USPS shirt - yes, it's a cool design and I like the Discovery logo. This I only bought recently, on ebay, it was never an LA related purchase.

It does make me feel like a fanboy though - I wore both on my commute today!

I chatted to a stranger on a ride today who volunteered the information that he was slightly irritated that he had to ride a Trek. It's all pretty irrelevant though.

The correct translation being:
"I went up to this complete nobber today, who I had never seen before; he was riding a Trek and I grabbed him by the throat and demanded if he was proud to support a drug cheat. He wimpered a reply which I took to mean that he was suitably chastised and will never ride that bike ever again."

Before I could continue to wear them I would need to start wearing them which I have no plans to do. But I guess I am not as much a fanboy as some here :thumbsup:

There is a real assumption here that anyone really cares!

Ask why they were bought ad the whole question becomes an irrelavance

If I hadn't lost it, I'd continue to wear my wristband. Even if he'd cheated at every single race I still think that the livestrong foundation does good work.

Is there a way that I can avoid brands tainted by the Cheatstrong association even harder than I already do? I mean, I'd rather buy a Halfords BSO than a Trek. Bontrager, Nike and Oakley are right out and it's too soon to go looking for an amusingly ironic USPS jersey. What does a chap do?

@martint235 - if you think propping up the public reputation of Lance Armstrong is good work, then go right ahead. Otherwise, sling some money to a charity like Macmillan or Cancer Research.

And providing a service for cancer sufferers isn't good work then?

The guy in my local cancer research shop was once done for mugging an old lady so I can't really support them anymore. *

* Not really but hopefully you get the point.

Have a Trek. One that has a sticker to proclaim Trek as 7 times TDF champion on the seat tube. This is no longer the case. Can't bring myself to give a toss, let alone remove said sticker.

Specialized use Tom Boonen as a poster boy. Does that promote cocaine? Nope.
