Actually, I believe all they need to do is to prove (to the standards the jury chooses to apply when directed to do so by the judge) that he deliberately violated the terms of the contract by using, and/or conspiring with others to cause the use of, PEDs. No need to prove that USPS funds were specifically used to purchase the drugs.
