Last summer, the Postal Service was criticized by the Citizens Against Government Waste for wasting millions of dollars in sports sponsorships, especially the U.S. cycling team deal with Armstrong, despite a corporate loss of $675 million. The group claimed the Postal Service spent $40 million on the U.S. Pro Cycling Team between 1996 and 2002, out of a total $48 million for sports sponsorships.

An audit publicized around the same time by the USPS Office of the Inspector General claimed that the USPS was unable to track or verify revenue associated with sponsorships; lacked goals and objectives for some sponsorships; and did not manage tickets and invitations appropriately. The audit documents said the USPS could not determine return on investment for its sponsorships.

He gets his equipment for free.. Travel? Where is this $$ going?

BTW Lance is a superhuman biker, but a 101% Moron everywhere else in life.

What the hell does the sponsorship of the USPS team (which paid a BIG dividend in the last month) have to do with making Lance Armstrong a "101% Moron"? He makes none of those decisions.

That's as stupid as calling up Dale Jarret because UPS didn't deliver your package on time.

And "a 101% Moron everywhere else in life"? Really?

You need to familiarize yourself with the amount of time and money Armstrong puts into cancer research and treatment.
