From 1998 to 2004 the Postal Service paid about $40 million to sponsor the team for which Armstrong won six of his seven Tour victories. In that same period the USPS paid Armstrong $17 million, according to the filing.

With no judgement on Armstrong, I would think some official would question WTF the USPS was doing spending that amount of money on bicycles.

It might have gone a long way to benefit the taxpayers in another manor.

It seems to me that the signer of some checks needs to be behind bars.
