OTTAWA (AP) — The Canadian women’s hockey team will proudly wear black and yellow Livestrong jerseys in its first game of the world championships.
Still, players and coaches harbored conflicting emotions about the cancer charity’s connection to Lance Armstrong after the cyclist admitted to doping.
Coach Dan Church says “my perspective personally is Livestrong may be the greatest achievement Lance Armstrong had as an athlete.”
Nike’s line of Livestrong apparel raises money for the organization established 16 years ago by Armstrong, a cancer survivor. The cycling star’s relationship with the charity ended last year after revelations that he took performance-enhancing drugs and lied about it for years.
