I thought of this and I, quite frankly, think it's a good idea. Anyone think so?
What if, like the "Livestrong" Bracelets, for Lance Armstrong, they had ones from Mr. Landis' speech"Keep the Faith", and made "Keep The Faith" Bracelets? They could make, like, half the money go to his foundation, the Floyd Landis Foundation, which would give that money to help people with the same hip problems as Mr. Landis. The other half or so could go to Floyd himself.
Does anyone know of how to make that happen? I would buy them buy the million!!! This would raise great money for osteonecrosis and osteoarthritis!!
Please Keep the faith in Mr. Landis. I beieve him 110%!

I believe he's innocent and really hope he can prove it. The bracelets are a good idea, I'd buy them!

I believe he has a hip problem but why are you so faithful to his other baggage. The poor guy really blew it and this type of story seriously ruins sport and cycling in particular. It numbs down great acheivements because we now can't believe freely in a great sports moment like what he pulled off.
Trust me...I'd love to see him vindicated but something stinks awful bad with this one.
As for your question....I'm usually the first to applaud a decent marketing idea and especially one that would be for a good cause. In this case, however, that idea could not be any more played out than it is. There is a bracelet for everything nowadays.
p.s. Landis broke the faith and it's a real shame because so many (even some of the French) pulled for a good guy like that.

No, I feel compassion and sympathy for anyone who has to deal with a degenerative hip condition as does Landis. Point being Keeping the Faith is wrong, seeing that he's guilty. He like Pete Rose will not admit it for years;and he'll be aided by the legions of people who don't want to believe it. Barry Bonds has not failed a drug test let alone 2!!!!!! and you have judged him as guilty. Why does Floyd merit such devotion. HE'S A CHEAT

maybe the wording on the bracelet should read "don't do drugs". If they said the b sample results found synthetic traces of testostorone... its "game over man" (Hudson from - 'Aliens')

You have to get a tried and true winner first...one who doesn't have his one victory on the world stage taken away due to illegal drug use.
