... the paper launched a high court bid to return the money, plus £720,000 in costs, and has reached a confidential settlement, the newspaper said on Sunday.

SundayRider said:Something I have been thinking about lately - it's pretty obvious he was a on a heavy program pre cancer. Why then was his results so average and why were they so good post cancer? Even more dope? More protection = greater freedom? Dr F? better training in combination with better dope?

The deal has clearly minimized Armstrong damage. Well played sir.
BTW, if money ever actually gets sent to the media outlet, it is likely from an insurance company, not Wonderboy's personal accounts.

drawkrb said:can't see a insurance company paying out on this, would you if you where a underwriter .if the policy was taken out before he came out, he told lies to get it so they would just keep his money he paid. notice walsh got something out of it, so recon it cost Armstrong over 1 million
drawkrb said:here is what article said.
It said Walsh and English had "reached a mutually acceptable final resolution to all claims against Lance Armstrong related to the 2012 high court proceedings and are entirely happy with the agreed settlement, the terms of the which remain confidential".
yes they will insure for a price but if you lie forget it you get nothing

why NewsCorp and Wall St were going after Lance. Cos he took them for coin. Rupert does not forgetBenotti69 said:Inurance companies will pretty much insure anything.
What did Walsh get?
Walsh never paid out to Armstrong, it was the Sunday Times.

I might be in the wrong line of work.

Benotti69 said:Depends how you word it. As far as i know doping in sport is not a criminal offence so why not insure against getting caught. It depends how you word the policy.
