This is going to be interesting. The DoJ is joining on behalf of the US Postal Service. But, USPS clearly got their money's worth during their sponsorship. So how are they going to prove some sort of damage or contract violation?

It seems as though their contracts would have had to specify him staying free of PEDs while representing them.

I agree...where is the damage. Of course, if Holder assigns a battery of his crack prosecutors on this, they will have less time to look into voting fraud and treasonous sales of technology to China.

And yet John Corzine skates. No wonder they call it the Just-us department.

Let’s ban sports. They get kids, whip them up into a frenzy, feed them drugs and etc. It’s not healthy.

This is definitely something the DOJ of a nation deep in the hole should concentrate its resources on.
Never mind terrorists and millions of illegals, let's pile onto ONE GUY.

How about collecting all the “loans” from the wind/solar companies the Energy Department made first? I’d hazard a guess that the total dollar value outstanding is much more substantial than what Armstrong received.

It’s bread-and-circuses for the political class.

My guess is that it did. I’d be surprised if they didn’t have such a clause in the contract. Lance is on the way down. It’s just a matter of how long it takes to get to the bottom. I suspect that he’ll be penniless when this is all over unless he’s got some placed in offshore accounts.

They will crucify Lance. And, honestly, he has it coming. If he is smart, he as a few million $$ stashed away in a Swiss bank account.

Why does Floyd get to sue Armstrong because he saw him do something.

Can I sue Floyd Landis because I watched the Tour De France and he ruined it for me by using drugs?

Because I think I have a better claim than he does. Is he suing because he wasn’t as good at doing drugs as Armstrong? That’s two things Floyd wasn’t as good as Lance doing.

Armstrong needs to be sued by everyone who he ruined along the way.

That said, the Obama administration's flaky who politically dropped the Armstrong investigation needs to be brought to justice.

The DOJ now getting involved in the actions of a bicycle racer???

I've always thought that one had to be found in posession of a drug in order to be charged. Guess the rules are changing........

I am an athelete and have been one for years, I have taken all kinds of legal but banned in sports substances. I feel they make be better, some have made me permantly better. I dont understand public outrage, I dont usderstand the legal knee jerk reactions. Lyle Alzato’s death was part of the anti-roids/dont do drugs kids stuff from the Nancy Regan era 30 years ago. The anti-aging, HGH stuff 100% of hollywood is on and has been on for the last 10 years. Look at the Governator, should the justice department sue him too cuz he also cheated on his wife and did enough pump to gag a donkey? Guys are big,bad,mean and fast before they take them...We do it because we want more, its the American way. We need to be honest with ourselves and if it was a stupid byclcist, it would have been somebody else.
Play hard and leave it all on the field.

We have forgot as Americans the George Washington story about the cherry tree....Nowaday you tell the truth and weasels and homosexual jump out of the wood work to take a peice of you, and in todays values NEVER show anger.

We have become weak and stupid as peoples.

The Obama Injustice Department is going after Lance because he personifies the monied capitalist who made something of himself.

In Obama's marxist society, if you raise your head higher than the egalitarian masses, they'll chop it off as soon as they can.
