Now maybe the USPS can sue Congress to recover the tens of billions of dollars in damages caused by the mandate to pre-fund the retirement program.
Y'know what'd be great? If the USPS put the old gang back together for a senior's Tour de Lance. I would LOL heartily.

No.
But I have LiveStrong bibs. and I guess you could say they are 'survivors' (of a good many tough rides).
I just can not seem to get rid of them. They won't go away. In the back-bottom of the drawer.
They do feel a little one-sided in the front pad area - hahahahahahahaha.

Yeah, five million dollars for an organization with 69 billion in annual revenues is hardly worth the trouble, but I'm sure Floyd will appreciate his cut. Can you imagine how Greg LeMond must feel about Floyd getting paid over this?

Sorry no.
What is the cost of living a lie?
What about the people whose careers he destroyed to hide his lie?
What about the children with cancer who learned, he wasn’t a hero, he was a cheat?
No, you can have his stuff.
I covered his photo long ago with one of Mr. Marchand of France, now there’s a hero.

I guess Landis's million bucks proves that crime does in fact pay.

I like this bit
“I am particularly glad to have made peace with the Postal Service,” Armstrong said in a statement issued by Peters’s law firm. “While I believe that their lawsuit against me was without merit and unfair, I have since 2013 tried to take full responsibility for my mistakes, and make amends wherever possible. I rode my heart out for the Postal cycling team, and was always especially proud to wear the red, white and blue eagle on my chest when competing in the Tour de France. Those memories are very real and mean a lot to me.”

No postal jersey, but I do use a lefty down tube shifter, with a righty brifter. But mine's a MTB brifter, so no one can accuse me of copying, lol. 😁😉
