    Lance Armstrong settles $100 million doping fraud case
  • Tainted cyclist Lance Armstrong has agreed to pay $5 million to settle the federal fraud case.

    The case pertains to his drug-fuelled reign from 1999 to 2005 as the undisputed champion of Tour de France.

    Armstrong settled the dispute before the scheduled trial next month.

    The case is for allegedly defrauding the US Government by using banned substances while racing for Postal Service-sponsored team.

  • Lance Armstrong was sued by The Postal Service and former team-mate Floyd Landis.

    They were seeking around $100 million in damages due to his dope-tainted image.

    The hearing was set to get underway on May 7.

    However, Armstrong's lawyers and the US Justice Department brokered a settlement where the cycling ace agreed to pay $5 million to settle the dispute.
