American Century announces partnership with Lance Armstrong — Kansas City Star

The investment company made a three-year deal to sell mutual funds in a new series called LiveStrong portfolios. Advertising will feature Armstrong and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

To publicize the deal, workers hung an eight-story high portrait of Armstrong on the company's headquarters. Big Brother is watching!

How did the Reuters version of this story identify Armstrong on first reference — “celebrity cyclist.” So much for 7-time Tour de France champion, cancer survivor, or Sheryl Crow's fiance.
