The bad news keeps rolling in for disgraced cyclist...and sometimes Austin resident... Lance Armstrong.
The London Times is suing him...to recoup 300,000 pounds it paid to him in 2006...in a libel suit Armstrong brought there and won against the Rupert Murdoch owned paper.
The paper is seeking the original sum plus interest...now well over $1.6 million.
Back then...The Times had reprinted claims from a book...that Armstrong, 41...had taken performance enhancing drugs.
Since then...Armstrong has had his 7 Tour de France titles stripped away...been banned from future sanctioned competitions...and lost up to $40 million in future sponsor endorsements.
