and Betsy Andreu to be excluded as witnesses in
fraud trial.

attorneys are also seeking to prevent USADA's 2012
Reasoned Decision, which detailed his doping and
saw him stripped of his seven Tour de France wins,

The final figure could be tripled under the False Claims Act if it is decreed that the sponsorship was obtained fraudulently." (cyclingnews.com) (Getty Images Sport) June 20,
