US files formal complaint against Armstrong
The US Justice Department filed a formal complaint Tuesday against
Lance Armstrong, saying the doping-disgraced cyclist and team owners
defrauded the US Postal Service of sponsorship money.
The government, which said in February that it would join a
whistle-blower lawsuit brought by former Armstrong teammate Floyd Landis
in 2010, says the USPS spent about $40 million in sponsor money and gave
Armstrong $17 million.
