LIVESTRONG board member says Armstrong betrayed him

LIVESTRONG Foundation Board Member Mark McKinnon says that he feels betrayed by Lance Armstrong.

McKinnon says, “Years ago, John, we decided to rebrand the Lance Armstrong Foundation to LIVESTRONG because we thought that someday that something could happen. We wanted the foundation to live beyond one person, whether it was Lance or anybody else that might be running the foundation. We want it to live on it’s own and have its own brand and not be contingent on any one person, including Lance.”

When CNN’s John Berman asks if he feels betrayed by Armstrong, McKinnon responds, “Yes, I do. And I think he’s got a lot of apologies. I think he’s got to crawl over a lot of broken class.”
