Armstrong’s legal woes continue
Print Edition
A TEXAS judge is pushing Lance Armstrong closer to his first sworn testimony on details of his performance-enhancing drug use, ordering the cyclist to answer questions about who knew what and when about his doping.
Nebraska-based Acceptance Insurance Holding is seeking the information in its lawsuit to recover US$3 million in bonuses it paid Armstrong from 1999 to 2001. A judge previously refused to dismiss the case.
Acceptance is trying to prove a years-long conspiracy and cover-up by Armstrong to commit fraud. It wants to know when several of Armstrong’s personal and business associates — including ex-wife Kristin Armstrong, team officials, his lawyers and International Cycling Union President Pat McQuaid — first learned of his doping.
Armstrong’s attorneys objected to those demands, arguing the former cyclist has acknowledged cheating and Acceptance is engaged in a “harassing, malicious ... fishing expedition” intended to “make a spectacle of Armstrong’s doping.”
