It's things like this that baffle me beyond belief. Why do taxpayer dollars go to bicycle teams, puppet shows, or painting a giant salmon on a 747? We're not sure, all we know is that we need more taxes.
Sigh.....the article says that the USPS sponsored bicycling team, which Armstrong was a member of, received tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.
So either the USPS provided the team with that money, or the government did, but either way, and I don't care which way, I want to know why a bicycling team gets taxpayer funding to the tune of tens of millions?
It is called advertising and marketing.Sigh.....the article says that the USPS sponsored bicycling team, which Armstrong was a member of, received tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.

I hope I'm not committing some offense by posting on the OP topic, but I think stripping away his 7 wins - meaning taking it away from everyone on every one of those 7 teams too - really sucks.
USPS is NOT tax payer funded.
People still seem to be missing that little point. Now, if we want to get upset about our tax dollars being used to sponsor this kind of stuff we still can. The U.S. Army, which IS tax payer supported, sponsors a NASCAR race team.
Double Sigh. If the article said his team received tax payer dollars it would be wrong, but the article didn't say that. Where are you getting this information?
"The evidence also includes direct documentary evidence including financial payments, emails, scientific data and laboratory test results that further prove the use, possession and distribution of performance enhancing drugs by Lance Armstrong and confirm the disappointing truth about the deceptive activities of the USPS Team, a team that received tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars in funding."

The US Postal Service is so mired in debt that nothing can save it from going bust — but the Senate is trying to dump a $33.7 billion bailout in its lap anyway.
He lost a testicle. How much more punishment can one suffer than that?
The estimated $3 billion in reductions, to be announced in broader detail later Monday, are part of a wide-ranging effort by the Postal Service to quickly trim costs and avert bankruptcy.

The only reason the post office is running a deficit is because the Republicans basically sabotaged it by requiring them to pre-pay seventy-five years of pension funds. Something no other entity has ever been required to do.

And the NASCAR team is no longer supported after this year. It was terminated by congress.
Hmmm...the original link in first post has changed. Phuckers. At any rate, why, or how can you be so sure the team got no taxpayer money?
Are you part of the team? Part of the Feds?
I'm sure the article could be wrong, but I've every reason to believe you could be too.
I would assume those kinds of things might be researched just a bit before they're published.

"a team that received tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars in funding"
Why exactly are taxpayer dollars going to a bicycling team?
Jesus christ, are you just following me around posting the exact same thing on all of my posts? Have you ever met me before? Read absolutely anything I've ever written?....illegal wars that slaughter innocent defenseless civilians in nations that didnt attack the USA, for the purpose of setting up more imperial fascist military bases and continue the theft of energy resources.
Youre right! Its absolutely disgraceful that 1.4 million Iraqi civilians were killed in an illegal immoral war
I wonder who funded these crimes against humanity and why?
The article clearly states that this witch hunt was financed by taxpayers. Any concerns over that?
"(The) statement confirms the alleged 'reasoned decision' from USADA will be a one-sided hatchet job - a taxpayer-funded tabloid piece rehashing old, disproved, unreliable allegations based largely on axe-grinders, serial perjurers, coerced testimony, sweetheart deals and threat-induced stories," he said.
Armstrong was banned for life by USADA in August after announcing he would not fight the agency's doping charges against him.
Breen said the agency was "ignoring the 500-600 tests Lance Armstrong passed, ignoring all exculpatory evidence, and trying to justify the millions of dollars USADA has spent pursuing one, single athlete for years."
Yes, it annoys me. Organizations like this have to prove they are doing something so they pull stuff like this. That said, yeah, I think Armstrong doped. I think practically all the high performing racers dope. If they ALL stopped doping I think Armstrong would still have won all of those races. I don't really care. It is a freaking bicycle race. But I don't think our tax dollars should be in any way involved in sports regulation.
