Lance Armstrong Details Doping Program in Interrogatory Answers
In 2013, the United States filed a False Claims Act lawsuit against Lance Armstrong- United States ex rel. Landis v. Tailwind Sports Corp., et al., No. 10-cv-00976 (RLW) (D.D.C.). The original whistleblower lawsuit was brought by Armstrong's former teammate, Flyod Landis. Both lawsuits allege that Armstrong and the USPS team defrauded the government in collecting sponsorship money.
According to the complaint, "Riders on the USPS-sponsored team, including Armstrong, knowingly caused material violations of the sponsorship agreements by regularly and systematically employing banned substances and methods to enhance their performance."
Last April, the government quietly released Armstrong's interrogatory answers from a prior case. In his answers, Armstrong admits to cheating in dozens of races throughout his career. Armstrong also names several teammates and managers that participated in the doping program.
This past June the government defeated a motion to dismiss the case.
