Investigators from these agencies began looking into Mr. Armstrong and his United States Postal Service cycling team in the spring of 2010, following allegations by former teammate Floyd Landis. While doping isn’t a crime, federal prosecutors looked at whether Mr. Armstrong may have defrauded sponsors, including the United States Postal Service, by conspiring to cheat. Several of the contracts between Mr. Armstrong’s former cycling team and its sponsors, which were reviewed by the Journal, contained language prohibiting the use of banned substances. The Journal previously reported that Mr. Armstrong and officials on his team told sponsors the team did not engage in doping.

Even in the Armstrong case, the U.S. Government decided to let it go. His rep is shot.
Boxing is a dirty sport. Cycling is in a completely different situation. Like baseball & football.
Here is a link to time magazine. Focus on the words sponsor & fraud.
