Firm wants Lance to repay bonus millions

WASHINGTON — Dallas insurance company, SCA Promotions, is demanding the return of millions of dollars in bonuses paid to Lance Armstrong now that the shamed cyclist’s Tour de France victories have been expunged.

“Armstrong is no longer the official winner of any Tour de France races and as a result it is inappropriate and improper for him to retain any bonus payments made by SCA,” Jeffrey Dorough, general counsel for the firm, said on Monday in a telephone interview.

On Monday in Geneva, the International Cycling Union officially backed the US Anti-Doping Agency’s (USADA) decision to effectively erase Armstrong’s cycling record, including the seven Tour de France titles he won from 1999-2005.
