Odinson Posted September 22, 2016 Share There was a Discovery Dinner here in SA before he rode the Argust... R50k a seat, over a 1000 pax, sold out in the blink of an eye. At the dinner a young girl pitched up outside in her wheelchair with her parents, she had Leukemia, was 'his biggest fan' and asked at security if he could possibly come out quickly and say hello. Can you guess the answer? (hint: she didn't have R50k to pay...) That ladies and gentlemen, is the real Lance Armstrong. So, your boss knows for an absolute fact that the message was clearly communicated to security, who in turn clearly passed on the message to Armstrong, who then rejected the request? Considering that "your boss" was one of 1000 guests at the event, he seems to have a pretty keen eye (and ear) to know all of the facts as it happened. nathrix, fanievb, DIPSLICK and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted September 22, 2016 Share heard it from a friend who,,,,heard it from a friendlet me guess you were there, did you hear and see it first hand???yip that what I thought LOL - a musical thread!

Sorry, I don't have a written affidavit from security confirming exactly what happened... believe what you like though. I trust my sources, and his character and actions through his career have painted a pretty clear picture. Just ask Betsy Andreu who received voice mails saying he hopes somebody breaks a baseball bat over her head. Lovely role model you guys have chosen Bonus, nathrix and mtbride 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next someone is going to post that he's read a letter of a guy that heard that someone saw Armstrong going around kicking puppies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIPSLICK Posted September 22, 2016 Share lady Steer as you pointed out, all the seats sold out in a blink of an eye,,,,,you never know maybe he was not asked directly, maybe there was a schedule maybe the"rent a security "was not up to scratch on the day, he has given up so much of his time for the cancer kids I find this story very one sided.
