US hospitals fear Armstrong bracelet mix-up

A US hospital chain is removing patients' "LiveStrong" wristbands because they are yellow - the same colour they use for the "do not resuscitate" bands put on patients who don't want to be saved if their heart stops.

The bracelets - for which proceeds go to fight cancer - have sold in huge numbers and have become popular through their association with sportsmen, with many Premiership stars seen wearing the bands.
