He did wrong when he took money from the US Postal Service. Just as the team owners other sports do wrong when then intimidate politicians into using taxpayer money for their playpens. They’re all just entertainers. They dope so that their fans will pay more to see them. who are the dopes? A pox on all of them.

Specifically, what did the USPS pay for? Advertising? Seems the USPS had their name splashed all over the cyclist uniforms. In other words, the sponsors likely received the publicity they sought during those years.

Fast forward to current times...were you more likely back when Lance Armstrong wore the USPS logo to use the postal service? Are you less likely to use the USPS today because they advertised using Armstrong?

I am no fan of Lance Armstrong--and honestly never was. This seems like an awful lot of fuss over somebody else's dirty laundry.
