Cycling: Armstrong Settles Out of Court

Lance Armstrong has ended a year-long legal battle and settled out of court with his former P.A Mike Anderson.
A year-long legal dispute between the seven-times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong and his former personal assistant Mike Anderson has been settled out of court following mediation and on terms which remain undisclosed.

A brief press statement said: "Lance and Mike have wished each other the best of luck in the future." A court last week threw out one of Anderson's claims, that Armstrong owed him $300,000 (£172,400) to set up a bike shop, which left one charge, of defamation.

Armstrong has also recently won a case against an internet sales company which registered three domains in the name of the Texan's Livestrong charity bracelets.
