Armstrong facing two further lawsuits
Insura🔜nce company looks to recoup early Tour bonuses



Lance Armstrong faces two furt꧒her lawsuits in the wake of his belated admission to doping, according to reports on Friday.
ABC News reports th🗹at Acceptance Insurance, which covered the bonuses for Armstrong’s first three Tour de France wins, has filed suit against Armstrong seeking $3 million plus damages, while reports that a false advertising class-action suit has been filed against Armstrong and FRS, a nutritional products company.
Acceptance Insurance filed its case against Armstrong in Austin,꧃ Texas on Thursday evening and follows a similar case launched by SCA Promoti🐟ons to recoup the $12 million in bonuses that it had paid out to Armstrong for his later Tour de France wins.
Tailwind Sports, the management co🎀mpany behind the US Postal Service team, took out premiums with the insurance 🐻companies to cover the bonuses it paid out to Armstrong for his Tour victories, which have since been stripped by USADA following their doping investigation.
According to , Armstrong’s confession of doping in a televised inte𒊎rview with Oprah Winfrey in January has prompted the Nebraska-based Acceptance Insurance to pursue the case, and it is reported that the insurance company plans to depose Armstrong.
Meanwhile, the class-action false advertising lawsuit against Armstrong and FRS Co. has been launched by Robert Martin in Los Angeles, Bloomberg reports. In a television advertisement, FRS energy supplements were lauded as Armstrong’s “secret weapon” and Bloomberg reports that the complaint says that “consumers wouldn’t have 🍬bought FRS products, or would have paid less for them, if it hadn’t been for the misleading ads.”
