nike set him loose. nike stood by ben roethlisberger through his scandals, tiger wood. it dropped michael vick in 2006 but brought him back in 2008 when he was commercially viable. these are the paragons of virtue from beaverton oregon, otherwise known as nike. they let him go for two reasons. the first is what i said because he's no longer commercially viable. they get that. they do their own polling their own screening and market research. the second reason is news that dropped yesterday which got very little publicity but would have blown up to be a big story this week when it was revealed finally that in 2006, greg lamond, the great cyclist the first american who win the tour de france, his wife, kathy testified in 2006 that nike paid $500,000 in a bribe to the president of the international cycling union to suppress a positive steroid test. now, nike denied that yesterday. and then today said lance armstrong, we want nothing to do with you. and once nike cut the cord with lance armstrong that not only dominated the news, but it caused this cascade of other sponsors

do you think this is why nike dumped him now and how bad is it for nike? >> here is what i don't understand. nike known they have a problem for months and months. they're certainly at the top of their game. they have been planning for th. why did they wait untilt hit the fan? melissa: what do you think? >> he could have walked away quietly, nobody would have cared. all of sudden whether they did it nor at looks like they did something wrong, doesn't it? melissa: seems like it was a really bad idea if they're just sort of waking up to this now and making this decision. i mean, you have to guess, what do you think precipitated this? do you think we're about to find out something more? or do you think just the buzz over this particular element is gaining traction, we need to take a strong stand, distance ourselves from him now and ourselles up to deny or defend that we had a part in covering this up? >> i think they had to d it sooner or later. they chose later. maybe if they waited longer it would have gotten worse. melissa: yeah. >> we keep hearing news rep

nike says it will continue to support "livestrong," but nike doesn't drop athletes easily. it stuck with tiger woods despite infidelities and michael vick, who served prison time for ties to dogfighting. but armstrong, who beat cancer to become an icon of cycling, is different. "tiger, michael vick - their transgressions happened off- the-field, but lance cheated at his sport." it raises the issue of risk a company takes when tying its image to a high-profile individual. "what you've seen in the past ten years, you've seen more team-oriented endorsements, gillete 'young guns,' coca-cola family of drivers - diversifying risk a little bit." "accenture made a lot of money with tiger woods. they didn't lose a lot when they dropped him." for the record, livestrong contributes 82% of donations directly to cancer-related programs - more than $29 million last year. nike also licenses the livestrong brand for merchandise. the u.s. postal service has cashed in all of its chips, and congress says no more. the usps reached its debt limit of $15 billion at the end of september. now, the

nike issued a statement saying, quoting here: today or rather nike vehemently denies that it paid former uci president $500,000 to cover up a positive drug test. nike does not condone the use of illegal performance enhancing drugs and analysts also do not believe the charges. listen. >> $500,000 in the grand scheme of things is a drop in the bucket for some -- for a corporation like nike. i just don't really see how much of self-interest nike would put into doing something like that. >> that said, the investigation will certainly go on and experts say they will be surprised if the lawsuits begin to fly. jon? >> jon: sad day in sports. trace gallagher. thank you. well, folks all across new england say they felt the earth shake last night's rare earthquake. it was breaking here on "the fox report." the 4.0 quack centered a few miles west of portland, maine might not seem much to people living in quake prone regions but enough to rattle the ground across several states as far as south as connecticut. something people in new england definitely are not used to feeling. >> i was laying in my b

the two were among the best known athletes nike used to sell its gear. but as scandals brought disgraces to both of them, nike is moving away from the celebrity endorsers it created. here's sports analyst rick horrow. >> tiger woods and lance armstrong helped nike sell billions of dollars of clothes and sporting equipment, leading to profits for shareholders. but the egregious scandals surrounding them, and the changing nature of star athlete endorsements, mean nike's new multi-billion dollar advertising campaigns are moving away from celebrity and to average joe. the shift to using non- celebrities sometimes is made out of necessity, such as during the olympics when nike wasn't an official sponsor. unable to feature olympians during an imposed marketing blackout, the company's "find your greatness" campaign showcased everyday athletes. heinken's dos equis beer brand spokesman is the most interesting man in the world. berkshire hathaway's geico insurance unit uses the geico caveman. companies with large marketing budgets don't always rely on celebrities

tiger woods, kobe bryant, they misbehave at nike stays with them. the evidence was overwhelming, the allegations from the doping agency. those seven days, it became too much. that says it all. >> lance armstrong, can he really carry on denying these allegations? >> that news came a few minutes before the news of nike dropping him. we thought, my goodness, he blank. the first where he says, i can't go on. i think that is as much of an admission that we might see a while. although i hope he finally does come clean because this is a terrible time for him. >> did it ever seen ever so slightly meteoric to you? >> hall of the minister, he has fallen so far in disgrace. if you wanted to believe that he was a clean athlete and many people did, especially cancer survivors, family members of cancer survivors, he is an icon to them. if you wanted to believe he was clean, you have to say he was the only clean athlete and probably the dirtiest sport on the planet. there was a lot of wishful thinking to begin with. >> are we complicity because he wanted to believ

against him, and 11,, 11 of his, ex teammates , nike had to drop him. >>shepard: if he had not won the championships he would not have made the millions, so he could be stripped egg, his reputation could be lost, but he is a rich, rich, rich guy, and would not be so without this. >>guest: this is a fatal blow. >>shepard: he has his tens of millions. >>guest: now he will be subject to enormous lawsuits. what is sad he was an exceptional athlete whether he took dope or not, an exceptional athlete and inspired thousands of cancer sufferers the he did works that were good in the foundation. the problem according to the reports is he was a bully. he threatened people. he was arrogant. he surrounded himself with lawyers. if this is a lesson from this in this sad story, it is this: do not cheat. number two, do not make enemies because they can bring you down as they did, sadly, in the case of lance armstrong. >>shepard: sadly, this is a matter of opinion, but also it is possible that only the second part applies here because as he, if he came in third or fourt

some of his teammates might go outside nike headquarters and protest if nike didn't drop him. this is a pre-emptive strike saying we are watching our hands of lance armstrong. they clearly want nothing to do with lance armstrong and they hope that part of the story might go away. lori: this is part of sworn testimony, out there in the record. what does it mean for nike? >> 90 will be fine. it is an incredibly strong brand, one of the strongest in the world. what it would mean if more allegations were to come out or a fact will prove were to be developed because hard to find pro -- prove when this is just sworn testimony. major damage control. there will certainly be people fired and the like but they are hoping to avoid that by doing what they did today. lori: nike dropped michael vick for dogfighting charges and landed in jail and decided to keep tiger woods, dropping lance armstrong. what went into that? >> lance armstrong is only the second known athlete to be dropped by 90. you mentioned michael vick. michael vick and tiger woods have plenty of years left in their athletic

did nike really have any choice here? >> they did not. i think the calculus around their choice is quite simple. but it is unprecedented for them because they have a history of standing behind troubled athletes. but if lance himself admits that staying by his own -- staying with his own foundation is troubling potentially as a negative adverse impact on his ability to perform there, nike would follow suit as well. >> he stepped down as chairman of his armstrong cancer foundation. talk to me about the relationship between nike and livestrong clothing that obviously carries the brand that is so closely associated with him. are they severing their relationship with it? >> i don't know if they're severing their relationship but i did notice that nike did make mention of the fact that they will continue to support the foundation and its efforts which i thought was a good move on their part, not just commercially but i think ethically. i think the other question is -- i think this is something that you talked about earlier -- why is it that nik

, and with sadness-- >> and they used that word "misled nike" "armstrong misled nike" they said that. >> and misled nike for more than a decade, and terminated the contract with them. stuart: that's a very strong statement, strongly worded, too. nicole, no impact on nike stock, but a very interesting story, nicole, thank you very much indeed. time is money, so is 30 seconds, here is what else you've got going on, not just the debate. it wasn't as much of a blowout as the first debate, but we're sure that the rnc chairman thinks that romney won. we'll get into specifics later. guns a big issue with our viewers and we'll talk to the n.r.a. chief wayne laperriere. and israel was not mentioned. isn't it a big issue for voters? and a rabbi here with us. we want to hear from you of course to varney@foxbusiness.com. we'll get through them all. seven early movers this wednesday morning, let's see what we've got. let's start with microsoft. it's starting to price, i should say, it has a starting price for the new be tablet computer due out. $499 apiece, the starting price. 29.19 for microsoft,

will the move hurt nike? your firm is invested in sports-related stocks. do you own nike? >> we don't, but it's a great company. >> any of you on this lance armstrong thing? >> probably they are being conservative about the brand and did the right thing if something is unknowable. >> i talked about it on "street signs," 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. eastern, great program. it's a hot topic. was nike smart to get away from it? >> there is zero upside to keep him on. why not let him go? nike won't sell an extra sneaker just because he have they have lance armstrong. it's unknown. move on. >> we have mike khouw with us. your view? >> i'm not in nike. i think they made the right choice, no question. the options market. some people came out. the active options for the 92 the.5 puts. this is the only decision they could make. we know enough to know they should keep their hands off. you can't have a company associated with this. finally, i think it's not going to make a difference to them financially. that's what i think is the most important thing. not going to make a difference. >> let's m

five words, nike knows lance did it. why is it the fact that nike knows it's really over? >> i think, brooke, that this is a very important development today. and it's a sad day for the millions of people who placed their faith and trust in lance armstrong and cancer survivors, family members of cancer survivors and those who haven't survived. basically it's about this, nike stands by almost everyone. tiger woods, kobe bryant, michael vick, ben royalsbeethlir roethlisberger, for nike to drop lance armstrong i think is a significant moment in the lance armstrong saga as any we have seen aside of course from last week and the 1,000-page documents, thousands of documents that the u.s. anti-doping agency released brought because it's the cymbsy that nike will standby you no matter what and they're not standing by lance armstrong. that's why i believe without a doubt anyone who was hoping this isn't true, i'm sad to say it is true. lance armstrong is one of the worst cheaters we have ever seen in sports. >> and as you point out, the cancer survivors, so many people wearing thos

in august even filmed this nike ad back in 2001. it looks especially cheeky now. >> this is my body. and i can do whatever i want to it. everybody wants to know what i'm on. what am i on? i'm on my bike, busting my ass six hours a day. what are you on? >> man, i get chills. can the most famous cyclist in racing history pedal a comeback? other athletes done it. nike rehired quarterback michael vick after serving 21 months in prison for his role in a dogfighting ring. some are betting against lance armstrong. evan morgan stein has done $40 million in endorsement deals. when you ask his view, he gets as blunt. telling us, that is great story surviving cancer, in terms of an iconic athlete people want to look up to that lance armstrong doesn't exist anymore. liz, dave. liz: that comercial looks lame now, doesn't it? david: remember it wasn't too long ago everybody had those bands. he is the guy who started the bands, remember? >> he sure is. david: thanks very much, dennis. following his controversial release last week, one key piece of

even though the foundation may have been started by armstrong, at this point, nike is crucial. so it comes down to lance's name or nike's money, they decided to go with the money, which could be why earlier today, lance stepped down as chairman of the the foundation. and they're building a lanceless organization. we were lucky to be able to screen grab it for you before he disappeared, but will live strong mean anything without lance? and without doping? well, does all the -- let us know what you think. twitter or facebook. then our fifth story "outfront," talking tough on foreign policy. president obama and mitt romney came out swinging last night. >> i said i'd end the war in libya, in iraq, and i did. i said we'd go after al-qaeda and bin laden, we have. >> the president's policies throughout the middle east began with an apology tour and pursue a strategy from leading from behind. > final debate next week will be all about foreign policy. our next guest covers presidents clinton, bush and obama as commander in chief. best selling author of "black hawk down". there are thing
