DVD Warehouse Owner Stuck With 10K Copies Of Lance Armstrong DVD He Can't Get Rid Of

Businessman stuck with 'toxic' Lance Armstrong DVDs

A businessman who fears he may be stuck with 10,000 Lance Armstrong DVDs is looking for ideas to help him shift them.

Karl Baxter, Director of Wholesale Clearance UK Ltd in Dorset, bought them before the cyclist was unveiled as a drugs cheat.

Now he's not sure what to do with his vast DVD collection of 'The Science Of Lance Armstrong'. He had planned to sell them through his website but they could end up instead just being recycled.

Along with making him give back all the money from commercials/sponsorships. That might actually be a punishment.

Seriously, if the punishment for juicing in a sport is to become a multi-millionaire and pretend to be sad for a bit on TV, sign me up and pass the needle.
