It’s time for a counter-offensive for Lance Armstrong. The Texan asked a judge to dismiss the US state's complaint against him, arguing that his sponsor, the state-owned US Postal Company, had turned a blind eye to his doping years and even profited from it. In his request, Lance Armstrong, explains that “the government now claims to have been harmed by the allegations when the actions (of the government) at the time are more revealing. Did he suspend the team during the investigation? Did he ask his army of lawyers and investigators to study the case? No. Rather than ending his collaboration, he renewed his sponsorship contract with the team. » The Texan also mentions a statute of limitations to ask the judge not to pursue this complaint that the government filed on behalf of US Postal, the former sponsor of the team, against Armstrong and his teammates.
