Court denies Armstrong request to stop SCA case
Texas Supreme Court 🥃rules that Armstrong must testify🍎 under oath
The Texas Supreme Court has denied Lance Armstrong🔴's reque🤡st to block a case against him by insurance company SCA. He will now be required to testify under oath on June 12, in a case in which he may have to🍸 p🌊ay back an estimated 12 million dollars.
The insurance companies had paid him bonuses for winning the Tour de France, but eventually refused to do so because of claims of doping. He sued for the money, swearing underꦕ oath that he had not doped. The parties reached a voluntary settlement.
In light of the USADA's reasoned decision and Armstrong's doping confession, SCA filed suit to regain the mo𝔍ney it paid him. The Texan has repeatedly fought the action in court.
"SCA is pleased that it will get an opportunity to hold Mr. Armstron൩g accountable for his outrageous conduct during our prior legal proceedings," Jeff Tillotson, SCA's attorney, told USA TODAY Sports. "Our position is simple. No one should be able to relentlessly perjure themselves and get away with it."
Armstrong is now scheduled to be deposed on June🃏 12, according to the Dallas News, by t▨he same SCA attorney who deposed him earlier when he denied having doped.
