Computer Sciences Corporation - Continued Support
for Cycling
CSC Inc. Confirms continued support and involvement with the sport of cycling
and sponsorship of Team CSC.
Title Sponsor of #1 Ranked Team CSC Reaffirms its
Commitment to Clean Sport
EL
SEGUNDO, Calif., June 20 – Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC) today
announced that, after careful consideration, the company has decided to continue
its involvement in the sport of cycling and its sponsorship of top-ranked Team
CSC.
“Needless to say, we are deeply disappointed by Bjarne Riis’ recent admission
of past doping,” said Henrik Bo Pedersen, the CSC executive responsible for
overseeing the sponsorship. “While we remain steadfast in our condemnation of
doping, we accept Bjarne’s apologies and believe that his candor – and his
commitment to cleaning up the sport – represents a potential turning point for
cycling. We have therefore concluded that we will continue our sponsorship.
“An important factor in our decision is Team CSC’s groundbreaking anti-doping
program, which has become a model for clean sports in general. Bjarne has been
instrumental in establishing the program, and we believe his continued
leadership in Team CSC and the sport is critical to ongoing efforts to clean up
cycling. Indeed, we strongly encourage all of the ProTour teams to implement
anti-doping programs similar to the one in place at Team CSC.”
