"Today I turn the page. I will no longer address this issue, regardless of the circumstances. I will commit myself to the work I began before ever winning a single tour de France title; serving people and families affected by cancer, especially in underserved communities."

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: What year did Armstrong win his first Tour De France?
A: 1999.

THE MORNING BREW Armstrong's doping has wider effects
Renowned cyclist Lance Armstrong issued a statement Thursday evening, Aug. 23, saying he would no longer contest the doping charges facing him from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
"There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, 'Enough is enough.' For me, that time is now," Armstrong said. "I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999."
World Anti-Doping Agency President, John Fahey, said Armstrong no longer contesting charges likens to an admission. "The simple fact is that his refusal to examine the evidence means the charges had substance in them. Under the rules, penalties can now be imposed."
But, does the stripping of titles taint his legacy?
After surviving cancer, Armstrong rocketed to the top of his sport. It was a miracle story. However, there may have been some steroids used to help that miracle. The judgment is up to you, but his inspiration to many may lose a little luster after Thursday's doping allegations. Armstrong
courageously fought cancer that should have beaten him, and that should be his legacy to the cancer community.
The sport of cycling was forever changed by his repeated dominance in the Tour de France, a race that is considered the Super Bowl of the cycling world. Cycling captured worldwide attention and gained interest as Armstrong powered through the Pyrenees Mountains in southern France year after year to claim his seven Tour de France titles. Now stripped of his Tour wins and banned from the sport, cycling loses its biggest name.
However, his impact extends beyond the
sport. Armstrong is a prominent figure in the battle against cancer and the face of the his own foundation, LIVESTRONG. The LIVESTRONG foundation works to unite, inspire, and empower people affected by cancer. And after the recent doping charges, many thought donations would take a hit. But, oddly that was not the case.
In wake of Thursday's shocking news, Friday donations to LIVESTRONG totaled to more than $75,000. An amount much greater than the $3,200 donated Thursday. While the donations may have survived, the reputation may suffer in the coming days.
Some may remember the Mizzou project, the construction of Paige Sports Arena. Originally named after the granddaughter of Bud Walton, co-founder of Wal-Mart, the name was later changed after she was accused of cheating her way through college at the University of Southern California.
Could a similar fate be in store for Sporting KC's LIVESTRONG Sporting Park? While it is a wonderful sports venue, some question the integrity of letting the stadium name remain. It will be up to moral judgment to determine if we view
LIVESTRONG as a beneficial cancer foundation or a group led by a man accused of cheating his way to fame and success.
Tough questions will be asked and difficult conversations will take place, but Lance Armstrong's impact on the world goes unquestioned.
Armstrong is a courageous cancer survivor and an inspiration for many. His work with LIVESTRONG has benefited countless lives. I think it's best we take the attention off his cycling career and focus it on his positive impact on the cancer community.

Sporting KC loses Bunbury to injury
The team announced the extent of the injury Monday, one day after Bunbury was hurt while leaping to make a pass to Kei Kamara for Sporting KC's only goal of the game. Bunbury crashed to the turf
KANSAS CITY, Kan.
sporting Kansas City will have to chase an Eastern Conference championship without forward Teal Bunbury, who will miss the remainder of the season after tearing ligaments in his left knee during a draw with the New York Red Bulls.
and held his knee, but played several more minutes before he was substituted out.
The team initially called the injury a sprain, but coach Peter Vermes said that Bunbury would undergo an MRI exam on Monday. That's when the extent of the injury was revealed.
Bunbury tore the ACL and damaged the LCL in his knee. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Scott Luallin is scheduled to perform surgery on Friday, and Bunbury is expected to miss six to eight months.
"The injury is extremely unfortunate, but Teal has a great attitude and he will be back stronger than ever," Vermes said in a statement issued by the team.
Bunbury is a big reason why Sporting KC (14-7-5) leads the East by two points over the Red Bulls with eight games remaining in the regular season.
The former fourth overall draft pick is tied with C.J. Sapong for second on the team with five goals, and he also has one assist in 22 regular season games. He trails only Kamara, the team's leading scorer, and Graham Zusi for the most shots on goal.
Bunbury led Sporting KC with 11 goals in MLS competition last season.
The knee injury will also rule Bunbury out of potential international duty. He debursted for the U.S. men's national team in November 2010, and has played several games since, assisting on Zusil's winning goal in a game against Panama in January.
The U.S. resumes World Cup qualifying at Jamaica on Sept. 7, and is scheduled to play at Sporting KC's Livestrong Sporting Park against Guatemala on Oct. 16.
