Defrauded would have meant that the postal service lost money because of lance but that was not the case.

Its criminal in this case, not the actual drug taking (although some are illegal rather than just banned) but this case is a fraud case, basically a criminal conspiracy/organisation lead by Armstrong defrauded US Postal (his sponsor) which is a federal agency. If convicted the maximum sentence is 99 years in prison.
