In reply to the discussion: Fuck Lance Armstrong.. [View all]AZ Progressive
(3,411 posts)8. Why is it that so many people believe in this "win at all costs" mentality?
That kind of mentality is just stupid and short sighted, perpetrating fraud without getting caught is very hard and ultimately bites them in the butt. It seems that they would rather bask in the glory in the short term even if in the long term they are eventually despised and seen with contempt. It's incredibly self centered and wastes other people's time and effort.

The USPS is in bad financial shape. How would supporting a cycling team be good for their marketing?

Because the Tour de France is the pinnacle of world cycling? And because of Lance Armstrong.
