    I was wondering which lot would be next. RadioShack were at the top of my list.

    I bet that gala on Friday gets cancelled. And the football thing on Saturday.

    Bill Stapleton, Mr Armstrong’s agent, could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.
    ......... Anheuser-Busch and Trek could not be reached for comment. Oakley said it was reviewing its relationship with Armstrong.

    RadioShack had been a backer of Armstrong's since 2009, when it announced that it would begin sponsoring his cycling team the following season and also use him for television commercials and advertising campaigns. But on Wednesday the company told the Wall Street Journal it had severed ties with him.

    .......... Anheuser-Busch – which sponsors the RadioShack-Nissan-Trek squad – said it has "decided not to renew our relationship with Lance Armstrong when our current contract expires at the end of 2012. We will continue to support the Livestrong Foundation".

    As well as possible moves by these sponsors, Armstrong faces other issues in coming weeks if the UCI ratifies the Usada decision to strip him of his Tour titles. The Sunday Times will look to recover around £1m in costs arising from a libel case in 2004; Armstrong could also face a counter suit from promotions company SCA which insured bonuses for four of his wins to the tune of $12m (£7.4m).

    These news stories move fast around the media world.

    I bet that gala gets cancelled.
