SHOW YOUR SUPPORT AND STOP THE INSANITY!
Ok, so I'm sure you've all heard about the Amaury Sports Organization (ASO) barring Team
Astana, in which Trek sponsors, from competing in any race or event organized by the ASO in
2008. The ASO runs pretty much runs all cycling events in France including the Tour de France. Not so nice.
Why you ask? It's because this year's team is paying for sins of last year's team even though this year's team is completely different. We all know what that's like. If you had a big brother or sister that was a sneak or a bully in school then you were immediately pegged a trouble maker when you entered the class years later. Guilt by association. Sad but true. Well this isn't high school it's the real world and that's what's happening to the new Astana team of 2008.
The new Astana team has totally cleaned up their act. I would even go so far as to call them squeaky clean. As a matter of fact Levi Leipheimer has never been implicated in any drug scandal. Unfortunately the ASO could care a less. It's a bum rap. What a shame...especially for Levi Leipheimer and the entire Astana team. Can you imagine working so hard to achieve a dream and then to have it taken away? It's a load of crap.
So what can you do? Well here it is. A website was just set up yesterday in support of Levi in trying to get him back into the tour. The more people that sign the petition and get on the Let Levi Ride website, the better the chances will be. Write a letter, get a shirt, a button or a sticker. Do something and Let Levi Ride! Thanks in advance for your support!
