Dallas-based SCA Promotions was forced to pay Armstrong 7.5m dollars in 2006 after an arbitration process over disputed payments relating to his seven Tour de France victories.

However, Armstrong has since admitted to doping in all seven of his Tour wins and was found to have lied in proceedings, leading
to the payout.
