RE: LANCE ARMSTRONG - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lance Armstrong has reacted with concern and dismay at
the false allegations made by David Walsh, Chief
Sports Writer of the Sunday Times.  The allegations
appear in a forthcoming book entitled ‘LA
Confidential', co-written with Pierre Ballester and to
be published in France.  Extracts from the book have
appeared in L'Express and some of the book's
allegations were repeated in yesterday's Sunday Times.

Lance Armstrong utterly denies ever having taken any
performance enhancing drugs.

Accordingly, Lance Armstrong has instructed his
lawyers to immediately institute libel proceedings

1) In the High Court in London against the Sunday
Times and David Walsh seeking an injunction and
substantial damages
2)  In Paris, against David Walsh, Pierre Ballester,
the publishers of ‘LA Confidential' and the publishers
of L'Express.

Proceedings will be filed in the High Court tomorrow.
