Justice Department will join lawsuit against Armstrong
The Department of Justice has decided to join a lawsuit against Lance Armstrong and several associates for using taxpayer money to finance doping on the US Postal Service cycling team, according to a lawyer for Armstrong.
Lancaster County cyclist Floyd Landis, who was busted for synthetic testosterone use and stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title, is claiming in a whistleblower lawsuit that Lance Armstrong, team director Johan Bruyneel and others defrauded the government out of more than $30 million they paid to sponsor the USPS team.
