It's not accident that they are going after him. He enriched himself and then applied tremendous pressure to others.

This can't be good. What's next, Cheryl Crow? Nah, save her for the criminal case

mewmewmew13 said:aack! I had forgotten about that...
she is fairly spineless and wimpy it seems...
how will that play with the Feds though?
ElChingon said:Also says a lot about the rest of the USPS and their continual lack of a spine. Anyone here can put themselves in that situation, would you take the pay cut or say no and move on (like most of us do in real life). If you allow yourself to be stepped on, you'll be stepped on.
Scott SoCal said:Lance 'dumps' Anna.
Lance re-marries Kik.
Kik can't be compelled to testify.
Anna stays at the new pad.
Unwind everything when the case is over.
Problem solved.

Race Radio said:The Fed document is very interesting.
Lance and his paid liars appear to be taking the track that USPS received a return on their investment but if you read the document the case has little to do with this. Lance and Johan lied to the USPS in order to get money from them. If the USPS made money on it may not factor into the equation.
Lance just made another massive mistake
Scott SoCal said:Yep. Maybe we should pay all pro cyclists with contact the same. It's not fair that Cancellara commands more salary than Roelandts. They were both in the finale at Flanders.... it's just not fair.
Yep. Richard Trumka should look into this.

So, regardless of whether they made any money due to the sponsorship (did they?), they paid to be sponsors of a CLEAN rider/team. Turns out that's not what they were sponsoring, so they should get their money back, plus penalties... Hmm. This case might be stronger than I thought it would be.
MarkvW said:You make a false claim to get federal money . . ..
I contract with the federal government to make Weapon X for the U.S. Army. I certify that I made Weapon X for the U.S. Army. I get paid by the U.S. for making Weapon X for the U.S. Army.
The United States of America then sues me.
I can't defend by saying "I provided Weapon Y for the U.S. Army. Weapon Y was a really good weapon. The Army LOVED Weapon Y. I can produce lots of testimony that Weapon Y was WAY better than Weapon X."
That argument really sucks for Lance.
I contract with the federal government to make Weapon X for the U.S. Army. My contract says clearly I am not allowed to use Chinese prison labor to make Weapon X. I get paid by the U.S. for making Weapon X for the U.S. Army.
I used lots of Chinese prisoners to make Weapon X
The United States of America then sues me.
