@ChuckSalter "In the sports world, he's a very polarizing figure," says Ulman. "In cancer, he's not." #enoughsaid- Fast Company's Chuck Salter asked Twitter users if they thought the world's most famous cancer survivor's foundation can survive now that the USADA has stripped Lance Armstrong of his Tour de France titles.
Some readers don't think Livestrong can stay strong in the wake of Armstrong's debacle: 
@chucksalter the foundation will survive short term, but without the Armstrong brand & big business tie-ins the money won't last.
Not a chance -- PR nightmare. RT @FastCompany -- Do you think LiveStrong can survive Lance Armstrong? @ChuckSalter wants to hear from you.
@FastCompany @chucksalter not a chance... pretty sure #Nike started livestrong apparel clearance...If they haven't yet they probably should- Many more who responded to Chuck on Twitter think Livestrong doesn't need the legendary cyclist's good name to survive:
@FastCompany @chucksalter Livestrong is much, much bigger than Lance. It'll be fine.
@FastCompany @ChuckSalter Yes, the foundation's legacy of helping others will outlive the accusations levied against Lance. #livestrong
@FastCompany @chucksalter I concur ... Too much good has been done, too many lives saved. Mgt has to have a contingency game plan! Yes?!- Yes! This doping charge is bull. RT @FastCompany: Do you think Livestrong can survive Lance Armstrong? @ChuckSalter wants to hear from you.
@FastCompany @ChuckSalter yes, time has passed since the active racing. Too many good things not to.
@FastCompany @chucksalter yes - in fact they'll likely thrive as more attention on Lance will cause his supporters to engage more heavily
@FastCompany @ChuckSalter LA has done so much for the ATX community and ppl affected by cancer, there is no way the org will dissipate.- @ChuckSalter Doing good (making an impact) for humanity is greater than anything that may happen in a sport #livestrong #survivor
@FastCompany @ChuckSalter Yes, if it redefines itself without Armstrong. Trust is necessary for core to expand @janzlotnick
@FastCompany @ChuckSalter yup, not only survive, #Livestrong will continue to thrive with Lance at the helm.
@ChuckSalter a lot of Armstrong fans & even cycling fans are still in support of him. He's done a lot for cancer research
@ChuckSalter No witch hunt will nullify the impact that Lance has had on people fighting cancer. Not even if he is guilty...
@FastCompany @ChuckSalter Absolutely. Not only will Livestrong survive, the man himself just got stronger by flipping the bird at officials- Some people wrote in about Armstrong's "unwillingness to fight."
- @FastCompany @ChuckSalter Lance lovers will stay loyal, but there are many skeptics who will feel confirmed by his unwillingness to fight.
@FastCompany @ChuckSalter How does someone who was such a fighter against Cancer now say "I give up"?- And then there are those who are just plain angry about the USADA's decision:
@FastCompany @ChuckSalter the question is can USADA survive their own decision, which undermines their own process of justice and integrity.- Will Livestrong survive in spite of the Armstrong controversy? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
