Too soon? Lance Armstrong[1] is slated to be honored in June at a breast cancer benefit.
The racing cyclist was banned from sanctioned Olympic cycling events for life in 2012 because of continual doping offenses that he repeatedly denied. All seven of his Tour de France wins were voided.
But Armstrong, who survived testicular cancer, will receive the Susan G. Komen LA Babes for Boobs Inspiration Award on June 7 at the El Rey Theatre.
Proving to be tone deaf to current affairs, the organizers will hold an auction where “a curated group of mega-successful Angeleno men . . . will be auctioned off for dinner dates, all in the name of charity,” a press release gushes.
