Organisers for the new four-day event, spanning two stages of women's racing and four for the men, had initially set🙈 up𝕴 a reported "media partnership" with Armstrong that included covering specific expenses related to the podcast, without having input with regard to its contents.
The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:raised concerns over whether the arrangement violated Armstrong's lifetime ban from com🦩petitive cycling, which led the event to reconsider the matter.
"In light of concerns ex💖pressed by USADA, we came to a mutual agreement that it is in the best interest of the Colorado Classic to cancel the marketing partnership with the Stages podcast," the race announced in a short statement Tuesday.
Armstrong appears to still be moving forward with his plan to cover the race in his podcast regardless of whether the program has an🌱 official relationship with the event, tweeting that a Denver winery will host the podcast through all four stages.
