Lance Armstrong Partners with FRS - antioxidant drink
Posted on May 31, 2007 by Roland
Lance Armstong is one of the people I admire, so I was intrigued when read that Lance had partnered with FRS (announcement/ad). FRS sells antioxidant health drinks. this is the kind of thing I could see Lance using. Yes, I am skeptical but I have ordered my free sample of the powder mix.

This is a real shame. The drink may be great for top endurance athletes, but they are taking very slim evidence (3% gain??) from “stressed athletes and claiming it will help normal people, where there is no evidence at all. If the science was so compelling and they have a Harvard professor on the payroll, why was their critical research performed at Appalachain State??? Do they even have indoor plumbing at Appalachian state?
I have a PhD and am a published scientist. My specialy has nothing to do with energy drink, but free radicals are a focus. I can read a science paper and interpret the data. This drink is being pushed by salesman and they are ruining the name of one of our greatest athletes. If he will participate in a scam like this, who can believe he did not believe greedy scientists when they told him HGH couldn’t be detected and they could help him win????
I wonder if Lance knows about FRS business tactics, if he does, then I am suspicious of him and his wins (and scandals). The trial is not really FREE. Read the fine print and they set you up with an auto order every month for ~$65 charge to your credit card. It even starts before you may even receive the FREE trial packets and not even have time to try it out and see the results, if any. Very shady. When i called to cancel, they said their computers were down and they took my info and would call me back. Days go by and they never did and I had to call again to cancel. They don’t allow you to cancel online.
That’s interesting. I got the sample and no follow on. They must have changed their practices. I really dislike the approach as you describe it.
