Postal Service sponsored his cycling team, according to Elliot Peters, Armstrong’s lead lawyer in the case. The settlement ended years of legal wrangling between Armstrong and the government over whether the Postal Service had actually suffered harm because of Armstrong’s doping. “We’ve had exactly the same view of this case forever, which was that it was a bogus case because the Postal Service was never harmed,” Peters said in a telephone interview. He added that the Postal Service had previously boasted that sponsoring Armstrong’s cycling team for $32.3 million was a marketing boon. That was the value of the second deal between the Postal Service and the team.
