Lance Armstrong will have to face a $100million whistleblower doping lawsuit, it has been confirmed in America.

Armstrong, who admitted to doping in 2013 for all of his Tour De France wins and was stripped of the titles, had his lawyers try and get the lawsuit brought against him by former team mate Floyd Landies and the American Government dismissed.

However, a US Federal Judge ruled that the case which sees Armstrong accused of defrauding the US Government by playing a major role in the use of banned performance enhancing drugs on the US Postal Cycling team and that former manager Johan Bruyneel, team management company Tailwind Sports and other parties knew that Armstrong and team-mates were doping during the period that US Postal Service sponsored the team. can go ahead.
