Armstrong sued SCA:
When allegations of doping by Armstrong became public after the release of L.A. Confidentiel, the expose written by David Walsh and Pierre Ballester, SCA Promotions refused to pay the bonus.
Armstrong took the case to arbitration, where despite testimony from individuals such as Betsy and Frankie Andreu, supporting the assertions in the book that Armstrong doped, the two parties settled out of court, with SCA Promotions having to pay the bonus plus $2.5m in legal fees and interest because the wording of the contract held them to payment as long as Armstrong was the winner of the Tours.
Now that this is no longer the case, the company is seeking to reverse the outcome.
"This is not a happy day for my client, but he feels Lance Armstrong has brought this upon himself,"
In addition to that, it had previously paid the rider $4.5 million for his victories in 2001/2002 and 2003. In total, the contract with Armstrong cost the company $12 million.
“He basically said that we were scum and how dare we criticize him,”
The Sunday Times should sue him.
