On June 15, 2004, the Discovery Channel signed a deal to become sponsor of the team for the 2004–2007 seasons and its name changed to Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team ({{UCI code|DSC}}) From 2005 until 2007, the team was one of the 20 teams that competed in the new UCI ProTour. As part of the sponsorship deal, Lance Armstrong, the team's undisputed leader, provided on-air appearances for the Discovery Networks TV channels. The deal did not affect the rights of secondary sponsor OLN, now known as NBC Sports Network in the US, to air major cycling events such as the Tour de France, although the two channels are competitors. The team was directed by Belgian Johan Bruyneel, who also managed U.S. Postal. The chief mechanic was Julien DeVries. The team was co-owned by Tailwind Sports Corp. of San Francisco and Capital Sports & Entertainment of Austin, Texas. On February 10, 2007, Discovery Channel announced that it would not renew its sponsorship of the team at the end of the 2007 season.[1] On August 10, 2007 the cycling team announced that it would not search for a new sponsor, but cease operations and disband at the end of the 2007 season.[2] In October 2012 USADA released a report saying that the team had run "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme the sport has ever seen".[3] The report contained affidavits from eleven riders on the team including Frankie Andreu, Tyler Hamilton, George Hincapie, Floyd Landis, Levi Leipheimer, and others, describing their own usage of erythropoietin (EPO), blood transfusion, testosterone, and other banned practices during the Tour de France and other races. They also implicated seven-time Tour winner Armstrong.[4] On October 22, 2012 the UCI upheld the USADA's recommendation to strip Armstrong of all results since August 1, 1998, and ban him from cycling for life.[5] In February 2013, the US government joined Landis' False Claims Act lawsuit against Armstrong, alleging that Armstrong had defrauded the US Postal Service of sponsorship funds by violating cycling rules by using performance-enhancing drugs while riding for the team.[6] Team rostersFinal seasonOn August 10, 2007, Tailwind Sports announced the end of the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team. Tailwind officials stopped their search for a new title sponsor for the Discovery team, citing the current tumultuous conditions within the sport of cycling. [7] Team operations continued until the end of the 2007 season. After the 2007 season Johan Bruyneel went to rebuild Team Astana for the 2008 season. He brought with him much of Discovery's personnel, such as riders Alberto Contador, Levi Leipheimer, Yaroslav Popovych, Tomas Vaitkus, and coach Sean Yates. The 2007 U.S. national road champion George Hincapie signed a contract for the 2008 season Team High Road, later known as Team HTC-Columbia, run by the American Bob Stapleton.[8] Final squad (2007)As of April 30, 2007.[9] Ages are from August 10, 2007.{{Cycling squad start}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Fumiyuki Beppu|nat=JPN |birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1983|4|10}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Volodymyr Bileka|nat=UKR|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1979|2|6}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Janez Brajkovič|nat=SLO|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1983|12|18}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Alberto Contador|nat=ESP|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1982|12|6}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Antonio Cruz|nat=USA|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1971|10|31}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Steve Cummings|nat=GBR|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1981|3|19}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Tom Danielson|nat=USA|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1978|3|13}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Allan Davis|nat=AUS|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1980|7|27}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=John Devine[10] |other=From July 2007|nat=USA|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1985|11|2}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Stijn Devolder|nat=BEL|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1979|8|29}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Vladimir Gusev|nat=RUS|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1982|7|4}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=George Hincapie|nat=USA|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1973|6|29}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Levi Leipheimer|nat=USA|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1973|10|24}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Fuyu Li|nat=CHN|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1978|5|9}}}}{{Cycling squad mid}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Trent Lowe|nat=AUS|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1984|10|8}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Egoi Martínez|nat=ESP|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1978|5|15}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Jason McCartney|nat=USA|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1973|9|3}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Gianni Meersman|nat=BEL|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1985|12|5}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Uroš Murn|nat=SLO|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1975|2|9}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Benjamín Noval|nat=ESP|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1979|1|23}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Pavel Padrnos|nat=CZE|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1970|12|17}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Sérgio Paulinho|nat=POR|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1980|3|26}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Yaroslav Popovych|nat=UKR|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1980|1|4}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=José Luis Rubiera|nat=ESP|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1973|1|27}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Tomas Vaitkus|nat=LTU|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1982|2|4}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Jurgen Van Goolen|nat=BEL|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1980|11|28}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Brian Vandborg|nat=DEN|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1981|12|4}}}}{{Cycling squad rider|name=Matt White|nat=AUS|birthdate={{Birth date and age2|2007|8|10|1974|2|22}}}}{{Cycling squad end}}Former members of Discovery Channel

U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team historyThe US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team and later named the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team presented by Berry Floor operated from 1996 through 2004. The United States Postal Service was the title (primary) sponsor from 1996 through 2004 and the team was nicknamed the "Blue Train". Berry Floor, a Belgian flooring company, was the secondary sponsor, also known as a Presenting Sponsor. Domestically the USPS Pro Cycling Team was presented by Alloc, the American subsidiary of Berry Floor. Lance Armstrong won six Tours de France (1999–2004) with US Postal, and in 2003 Roberto Heras—at that time a US Postal rider—won the Vuelta a España. Armstrong went on to win a seventh Tour de France in 2005, after the USPS contract and sponsorship ended. The US Postal Service announced that it would cease sponsorship at the end of the 2004 racing season when its eight-year contract expired. It had previously been under fire for the expenditure from organizations such as Postal Watch, a website critical of the United States Postal Service. Legitimate problems of mismanagement and sloppy accounting were pointed out by the Postal Service itself, via the USPS Office of the Inspector General. Before the expiration of the USPS contract, Armstrong insisted that he would only continue to ride with the USPS team structure. This demand was met on June 15, 2004 when Discovery Networks stepped in and agreed to sponsor the team for the next three years as the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team. 1996 resultsWith the help of Thomas Weisel and Eddie Borysewicz, the United States Postal Service begins its reign as title sponsor to what has become the most successful cycling team from the United States. Borysewicz served as the team's directeur sportif and the team raced mainly in domestic events in the United States.
1997 resultsThomas Weisel brought in Mark Gorski, the 1984 Olympic Gold Medalist in the Men's 1000 m Sprint (Scratch) event, as team manager. Due in large part to Russian Viatcheslav Ekimov and his key stage wins at Paris–Nice and the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, the USPS squad got its first invitation to ride in the Tour de France.
