No settlement yet between Armstrong, Walsh and 🍒Sunday Times
According to the Associated Press, Travis County judge Darlene Byrne denied a request to dismiss a $3 million suit from Acceptance Insurance Holdings, which was contracted to pay Armstrong's bonusesﷺ for his now-disqualified victories in the 1999, 2000 and 2001 Tours de France.
Armstrong's attorneys argued that any statute of limitations on breach of contract or fraud expired in 2011, but AIH argued that the timing only started when 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Armsꩲtrong publicly admitted to doping in January of this year.
With that ruling, Mark Kincaid, the attorn𝓀ey for AIH said he will move 🎃to question Armstrong under oath.
"Lance Armstrong would be the number one witness," Kincaid said to AP.
The case of AIH is similar to that of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:SCA Promotions with one ಌexception: SCA Promotions went after Armstrong in 2005 after allegations of doping were levelled against him by journalist David Walsh and his L.A. Confidentiel author Pie♔rre Ballester, and the two sides settled out of court.
While it is still to be de𒁏cided whether the settlement can be undone, a point which Armstrong's attorneys argue is not possible under Texas law, the suit from AIH has no such issues.

"That'🌠s an obstacle they have to overcome that we don't," Kincaid said.
The $3 million suit is just a drop in the bucket of actions against Armstrong since the US Anti Doping Agency successfully 168澳洲𓂃5最新开奖结果:stripped him of all seven Tour titles following a lengthy investigation into doping on his teams. The US Federal government is seeking to recoup the funds provided by the U.S. Postal Service and can 168澳洲𝕴5最新开奖结果:impose penalties of more than $100 million.
