UMMM VAMOS A VER, ASTROM un producto de NIKE, con pasta suficiente para comprar ASO, marca totalmente AMERICANA. A nadie le ha dado por pensar eso, pulseritas, camisetas en la que si la compras donan 5 dolares, TODO SIEMPRE NIKE. EN FIN SI ESTO SUCEDE SERA LA MAYOR OPERACION DE MARKETING PARA VERNDER CAMISETAS DEL SIGLO.
pues SI viene para aportar algo al ciclismo actual, para mi mejor que mejor... creo que lo mejor es esperar por amanha para ver lo que Lance quiere hacer..:comor3
ASO tiene dificultades desde que no celebraron el rally dakar...pero costar costará mucha pasta pero como se meta NIKE...me encantaria que ocurriera!!! y ahora a ***** a todos los tocapelotas de aso
Si cotizas en bolsa (como es el caso de ASO) cualquiera que lo desée puede comprar tu compañía mediante una OPA, hostil o no, haciéndose con un porcentaje de acciones que le permita dirigir la empresa u organización en este caso(el 51% vale). Si Armstrong tiene suficientes apoyos de empresarios puede hacerlo cuando le plazca.
Exacto, no es ASO quien se ha puesto en venta con un cartel de "SE VENDE", sino que al pasar por problemas de liquidez sus inversores, si encuentran una buena oferta no tendran inconveniente en vender su paquete accionarial y el que tenga más de un 50% de las acciones manda, osea que le basta con tener el 50,01% de las acciones. Salu2.

Buzz o Permalink Article Tools Sponsored By By JULIET MACUR Published: September 23, 2008 After two weeks of secrecy, Lance Armstrong will release on Wednesday the details of his comeback to professional cycling, but at least two elements have been confirmed by The New York Times. Skip to next paragraph Daniel Garcia/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Taylor Phinney is planning to join the under-23 team being formed by Lance Armstrong. Don Catlin, a leading antidoping scientist, said Tuesday night that he was in talks to head Armstrong’s personal antidoping program. Catlin, the former head of the U.C.L.A. Olympic Analytical Laboratory, is the chief science officer of Anti-Doping Sciences Institute, a testing and consulting company, and also leads an antidoping research organization. Armstrong has also made major moves toward forming a cycling team for riders under 23, and Taylor Phinney — who has been hailed as the next Lance Armstrong — is on the cusp of signing, Taylor and his father, Davis Phinney, said Tuesday. The partnership of Catlin and Armstrong, 37, would bring together one of the world’s foremost antidoping experts with an athlete who, despite his accomplishments both on and off the bike, has been dogged by doping suspicions. Armstrong, a cancer survivor who retired in 2005 after winning the Tour de France seven times, tested positive for a cortisone-based substance at the 1999 Tour. He was not penalized because he produced a doctor’s prescription for it. Armstrong has vehemently denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs. “It’s a big project,” Catlin said. “It’s important because of who it is and what he’s willing to do.” Armstrong’s manager, Mark Higgins, said Armstrong was too busy for an interview on Tuesday. In announcing his comeback two weeks ago, Armstrong said he wanted to raise global awareness for cancer. The nuances of Armstrong’s antidoping program, which Catlin said would be much more aggressive than any other internal testing programs in cycling, have not yet been determined. He said the program would be focused on gathering and monitoring biological information of Armstrong, who has agreed to be tested at any time. That information will be posted on the Internet and available for public scrutiny. Any variation in those biological markers may indicate doping. Catlin said that the program would not guarantee that Armstrong would be clean, but that it would be a good indicator of it. “I know as much as anybody does how to beat the system; he’s not going to beat me,” Catlin said. “You just have to trust that I know what I’m doing.” Armstrong has continued to participate in smaller races with Team Livestrong, which represents his cancer foundation. It is unclear whether the antidoping program will cover other riders, including the under-23 team led by the 18-year-old Phinney. His father and mother, Connie Carpenter, are Olympic cycling medalists. Axel Merckx, son of the five-time Tour de France winner Eddy Merckx, will be the director of the under-23 team, sponsored by the bike company Trek, Davis Phinney said Tuesday. “It’s not some long-established program, but it’s great to think that your son will be mentored by the king of kings, Lance Armstrong himself,” Davis Phinney said. “You have this wonderful synchronicity between three legs of a stool: Lance, the Phinney family with Connie and me, then Axel, who is the son of the other great rider in the history of the sport.” The Phinney family watched Armstrong win the 2005 Tour. At that point, Taylor Phinney was a star soccer player, but professional cycling lured him in, with the help of Armstrong’s feats and a conversation with Axel Merckx. Merckx told Phinney that he also had played soccer until he took up cycling when he was 15. Since then, Phinney has won junior national championships, and he finished seventh in the individual pursuit at the Beijing Olympics. “For this whole thing to come full circle with me, Lance and Axel, it’s kind of crazy,” said Taylor Phinney, who will join Armstrong’s news conference Wednesday at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York. “Meeting Axel was a turning point in my life because I realized I want to be like him and I want to be a cyclist. It was sort of a destiny moment.” To join Armstrong’s team, Phinney has to leave Team Garmin-Chipotle, led by Jonathan Vaughters, a former Armstrong teammate. “We’ve won every U-23 championship there is to win in the United States, and I think we’ll continue to have the best U-23 team in the country,” Vaughters said. “It’s just sad that Taylor won’t be a part of that anymore.” Vaughters has become one of the most outspoken voices of antidoping in the sport. “If our team and the way it does things has inspired Lance to become a part of an antidoping program, then that’s flattering because that makes us trend-setters, right?” Vaughters said
