France Wants Lance to Prove He Was Clean - Should He?

LibertySugar — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:00:16 -0700

Lance Armstrong announced that he's coming back to the Tour de France next year, and he plans on mixing in some charity work on behalf of the Clinton Global Initiative while he's in Paris. Well France's anti-doping chief wants to add something else to Lance's agenda: clearing his name.

Here's the challenge: Lance should agree to retesting his 1999 urine samples, in order to disprove reports that they contained traces of banned endurance enhancers.

A positive test from 1999, the year Lance won his first of seven titles, couldn't result in disciplinary action as too much time has passed. The urine samples are currently kept frozen in a French lab.

Should Lance take France up on its challenge?

What Is the Clinton Global Initiative?

LibertySugar — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 10:00:39 -0700

This week heads of state, nonprofit leaders, and philanthropists met for the fourth annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). By gathering global leaders, the ex-Pres hopes they will devise and implement concrete solutions to some of the world's biggest challenges. Since 2005, CGI has committed $30 billion to programs that have impacted 200 million lives in more than 150 countries.

Some of the highlights from this year have included:

Bono spoke out about global priorities: "It is extraordinary to me that you can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G-8 can't find $25 billion to save 25,000 children who die every day of preventable disease and hunger."
Wyclef Jean's foundation committed to providing hot school meals for 14,000 poor children, food for 20,000 families a month, thousands of new agriculture jobs, micro-enterprise grants for 165 small businesses, 36,000 farmers with seed, fertilizer, and training, and implementation of a broad communications campaign to engage international and local Haitian musicians in the Together for Haiti Campaign.
Al Gore was joined at the opening session by Clinton, Queen Rania of Jordan, President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia, Bono and E. Neville Isdell, chairman of Coca-Cola Co.'s board. Gore called for civil disobedience against new coal plants.
Lance Armstrong, who is planning to race in next year's Tour de France, pledged $8 million to a global awareness campaign for cancer, including a meeting that would convene in Paris after the tour.

When Should Your Children Come Into Play?

DearSugar — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 07:00:00 -0700

As we all know, not all marriages end happily ever after. But after you divorce and start dating again, factoring your kids into the equation is an extremely important step that needs to be carefully thought out. As we've seen in Hollywood, it can be done flawlessly (the Moore/Willis kids for example), but we've also seen the opposite: single parents who introduce their kids too soon, only to have the relationship fail (Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong, to name a few). Since children can get attached easily, it seems reasonable to wait until your relationship has hit a certain level of commitment before exchanging introductions, but when is too soon? And when is too late? If you have kids, they are no doubt your number one priority, so tell me, when do you think children should come into play when starting a new relationship?

What Age Difference Is Too Much?

DearSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 09:00:32 -0700

When I read the news that Ashley Olsen and Lance Armstrong were spotted out on the town, I was a little shocked. Not only do they seem like an odd couple, but there's also quite an age difference between them: She is 21, and he is 36. Do you think a 15-year age difference in a relationship is too big? If not, what age difference is too large?

Dear Poll: Have You Ever Had a Secret Lover?

DearSugar — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 07:00:00 -0800

Lance Armstrong and Ashley Olsen are still denying reports of a romantic relationship even though they've supposedly been spotted all over New York sucking face! Now, if I were Ashley, there's no way I'd be able to keep mum about my relationship, but of course celebrity relationships are those of a different breed.

Their denial got me thinking about real life relationships. People keep new romances under wraps for all types of reasons, everything from getting back with an ex to dating someone else's cast aways, so ladies, tell me, have you ever had a secret lover?
