It's a bit more complicated than the above.

He received $5M as a bonus for winning his 6th Tour de France title. If he is stripped of the title, SCA. the company that offered it, has a right to recoup it, and I believe they will prevail.

Whatever the company earned using his name is irrelevant to the fact that he's not entitled to that bonus.
