Lance Armstrong's lawyer: It was known fact that pro cycling was a doping 'cesspool'

Quote:

Lance Armstrong says only fools ever believed in Lance Armstrong. That’s essentially the argument Armstrong is making, through his attorneys, in an effort to hold on to the tens of millions of taxpayer dollars he collected by doping his way to victory in the Tour de France. Armstrong’s attorney told a federal judge Wednesday that the U.S. Postal Service should have known what a doping “cesspool” pro cycling was in 1996, when the USPS first signed on as the Texan’s chief sponsor. “They wanted to look the other way and enjoy the lucrative benefits of the sponsorship,” said Elliot Peters during a U.S. District Court discovery conference, according to the Law360 legal news service. So reasonable people should have known Armstrong’s crowd-pleasing run at cycling history was fake, even though at the time Armstrong was suing or threatening to sue anyone who suggested as much.

So doping was cool because every "should have known" it was happening? :confused:
