Armstrong needs to pay back the millions in sponsorship dollars he stole from the US Postal Service or go to prison for fraud.

To prevail in a lawsuit the USPS would have to prove damages. What are its monetary damage? None of his former sponsors have a case.

Armstrong is an ahole, but that is a different issue.

He will have liability to those he defamed and to the media outlet he successfully sued for defamation.

In the world of cycling, his actions were nothing out of the ordinary, he just avoided getting caught longer than most.

Sounds fair. What about every other doper who pushed a pedal and took sponsorship money to do so?
