LANCE Armstrong refiled a federal lawsuit on Tuesday against the US Anti-Doping Agency, hours after the group issued life bans against three of his former cycling associates.
Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France champion, wants a federal judge to issue a temporary injunction against USADA pushing forward with charges and punishments against him for a major doping conspiracy.
USADA issued life bans to former US Postal doctor Luis Garcia del Moral, Armstrong's personal trainer and team consultant Michele Ferrari and coach "Pepe" Marti for what USADA termed "systematic doping within the team" during Armstrong's run of Tour de France crowns from 1999 to 2005.
"Permanently banning these individuals from sport is a powerful statement that protects the current and next generation of athletes from their influence, and preserves the integrity of future competition," said USADA chief executive officer Travis T. Tygart.
This trio are part of the group of six, including Armstrong, who were accused of being part of the doping conspiracy. Another doctor Pedro Celaya, who is presently team doctor to the RadioShack team, and sporting director Johan Bruyneel are also accused of being involved.
