Lance Armstrong Slammed By The U.S. Government In $100 Million Dollar Lawsuit Over Doping Scandal And Endorsements

The U.S. Government Is Trying To Take Back All The Money Lance Armstrong Made Through Dishonesty
 



Lance Armstrong
 
The U.S. government, via the Justice Department, has slapped cyclist and former Olympian Lance Armstrong with a massive lawsuit for $100,000,000. The 59-page lawsuit refers to the disgraced cyclist as a "dope" "dealer" and "liar." The government has sued on behalf of the U.S. Postal Service, who sponsored Armstrong and his cycling team from 1998-2005. During that time, Armstrong engaged in an elaborate, dishonest scheme of using steroids, then getting blood transfusions to flush out evidence of the banned substances that gave him an undue advantage at the Olympics and in many tournaments, such as the Tour de France.

The U.S. government wrote in its lawsuit, "No sponsor who knew the truth about how Armstrong achieved his apparent Tour de France victories would have paid any amount of money to sponsor him or his team." The lawsuit's primary objective is to recover the tens of millions of dollars Armstrong was paid in endorsement money by the U.S. Postal Service. It is the Judiciary Report's solemn belief that Armstrong's doping and chronic blood transfusions, led to him developing cancer, as it so disrupted his body's natural functions and cell processes with foreign substances and blood, it damaged his body's entire cellular structure.

Lance Armstrong called a 'doper, dealer, and liar' in brutal Federal Government document - as the Justice Department sues the disgraced cyclist for almost $100 million
 
Published: 10:32 EST, 12 July 2016 - Disgraced former cycling champion Lance Armstrong has been called a 'doper, dealer, and liar’ in a brutal attack from the Federal Government. The stinging assessment was part of a 59-page document prepared by the U.S. Justice Department as part of an ongoing lawsuit worth nearly $100 million against the cyclist. 

‘No sponsor who knew the truth about how Armstrong achieved his apparent Tour de France victories would have paid any amount of money to sponsor him or his team,’ U.S. Justice Department attorneys wrote, the Detroit Free Press reports. The stinging assessment of Armstrong (pictured in 2011) was part of a 59-page document prepared by the U.S. Justice Department as part of an ongoing lawsuit against the cyclist worth nearly $100 million. 

The damning attack went on to accuse Armstrong of abusing his position for financial and personal gain, and was delivered as the government attempts to sue the disgraced athlete on behalf of the U.S. Postal Service. Armstrong rode for the U.S. Postal Team from 1998 to 2005, and received more than $40 million in sponsorship during his career. Government lawyers trashed the effort of Armstrong’s legal team to have the case dismissed, saying on Monday: ‘Armstrong’s motion for summary judgment should be denied in its entirety, and this Court should set a date for trial.’

Tennis Star Maria Sharapova Given 2-Year Ban For Using Banned Steroid


Maria Sharapova

This is a follow up to the May 17, 2016 Judiciary Report article "Boxer Alexander Povetkin Testing Positive For Steroids Causes Cancellation Of Deontay Wilder Fight And Possible Lawsuits" mentioning Maria Sharapova and yesterday's "Kimbo Slice Had An Enlarged Heart Prior To Cardiac Arrest." Today, tennis star, Maria Sharapova, was hit with a 2-year ban for using the banned substance Meldonium. Sharapova has been taking Meldonium for the past 10-years, which constitutes the bulk of her career. However, Meldonium was placed on the banned list in January 2016 and Sharapova kept taking it, resulting in a positive steroids test.


Meldonium has helped many heart patients in Russia where it is legal and dispensed over the counter. However, as stated in the Judiciary Report article a month ago, it is highly risky for a active athlete with no health issues the drug treats, to take the medicine, then engage in rigorous training. That is using it as a steroid. Sadly, one month after the aforementioned article that mentioned athletes developing enlarged hearts that can turn deadly, due to steroids use, MMA star, Kim Slice, died from a fatal heart attack brought on by steroids use that enlarged his heart.


My concern is athletes' health. No amount of money, fame, glory and prizes is worth shaving decades off your life. Once again, the Judiciary Report would like to implore people to leave steroids alone. The risks are simply too great and far reaching. It is not worth it. Take care of yourselves. Enjoy your life and the opportunities you have, by training hard and steroids free.

Maria Sharapova suspended for 2 years for doping

Wednesday, June 8 2016 10:00 a.m. MDT - Maria Sharapova was suspended from tennis for two years Wednesday for testing positive for meldonium at the Australian Open, and immediately responded by saying she would appeal the decision to sport's highest court. The ruling by an independent three-person panel appointed by the International Tennis Federation said Sharapova did not intend to cheat because she didn't know meldonium was banned, but that she bore "sole responsibility" and "very significant fault" for the positive test.

"While the tribunal concluded correctly that I did not intentionally violate the anti-doping rules, I cannot accept an unfairly harsh two-year suspension," Sharapova said in a statement. "The tribunal, whose members were selected by the ITF, agreed that I did not do anything intentionally wrong, yet they seek to keep me from playing tennis for two years. I will immediately appeal the suspension portion of this ruling to CAS, the Court of Arbitration for Sport."...

Floyd Mayweather Accused Of Taking Steroids Before His Win Against Manny Pacquiao



Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather after historic May 2, 2015 fight

The world’s richest boxer, Floyd Mayweather, is seeing his name take a battering, after the top rated American sports network and website ESPN released a report that he had an illegal IV, banned under World Anti-Doping Agency rules, before his May 2, 2015 fight against his number one rival, Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather then received an exemption from the USADA (US anti-doping) weeks after the fight on May 21, 2015. However, the Nevada State Athletic Commission is angry stating USADA did not have the authority to give Mayweather the wavier.


Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao

The report indicates the IV Mayweather was given right before the fight and anti-doping arriving at his house in Las Vegas to test him for steroids, contained saline and vitamins. However, the Nevada Athletics Commission has plainly indicated, Mayweather and other athletes are banned from taking IVs in this manner and his dosage far exceeded the amount of fluid allowed under existing rules. This rule is in effect as excessive amounts of saline flush out steroids from the system. The limit is 50 milliliters. Mayweather was given an IV containing a whopping 750 milliliters.


Andre Berto and Floyd Mayweather

Mayweather, who formerly accused Manny Pacquiao of using steroids, was sued by the Filipino star and settled with him out of court, states he did nothing wrong in using the IV before the May 2, 2015 fight. Ironically, Pacquiao was denied the use of the painkiller Toradol before the Mayweather fight regarding the torn rotator cuff he sustained in training camp, which is a very painful injury that hampers the use of one’s arm due to shocking and jarring pain. Pacquiao underwent surgery to repair the torn rotator cuff and has been wearing a cast while the injury heals.

Floyd Mayweather, USADA deny rules violations prior to Pacquaio fight

17h - LAS VEGAS -- Floyd Mayweather strongly denied Thursday any wrongdoing related to his receiving an intravenous injection mix of saline and vitamins -- banned under World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines -- on the eve of his record-breaking fight with Manny Pacquiao on May 2. The United States Anti-Doping Agency on Thursday also disputed that Mayweather violated any rules, saying the boxer applied for and was granted an exemption for the infusion...

Mayweather's IV usage, reported Wednesday by SB Nation, was allowed by USADA despite it being against the very WADA rules that USADA claims to follow. The contract that Mayweather and Pacquiao signed with USADA to cover the drug testing protocol for the bout allowed for therapeutic use exemptions, but USADA issued Mayweather's exemption for the IV use three weeks after the fight, which is unusual.

In addition, USADA did not notify the Nevada State Athletic Commission, the regulatory agency overseeing the fight, or Pacquiao's team until after it was granted well after the fight, something NSAC executive director Bob Bennett took major issue with. Bennett said only the commission can grant a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) to an athlete, not a drug testing body such as USADA...

Mayweather's medical team told the USADA collection agents that the IV -- which reportedly included a mixture of 250 milliliters of saline and multivitamins and a 500-milliliter mixture of saline and Vitamin C -- was being given to Mayweather for rehydration purposes following the weigh-in.

The fact that they were given intravenously was not allowed, according to WADA rules that state intravenous infusions or injections of more than 50 milliliters per six hours are prohibited "except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions, surgical procedures, or clinical investigations." WADA bans such large injections and infusions because they can be used to "dilute or mask the presence of another substance."...

Madonna’s Kabbalah Center Targeting Domestic And International Pro-Athletes Endangering Their Careers And Health

 

Madonna

Madonna’s Kabbalah Center, which is under criminal investigation by the U.S. federal government and international counterparts, have been targeting famous pro-athletes domestically (in America) and internationally. The Kabbalah Center has been classified as a “cult” by domestic and international law enforcement watching their behavior.

Under Madonna’s instruction and that of the Berg family, who run the Kabbalah Center with her, famous members of the cult in the music and film professions, have been approaching popular professional athletes, urging them to join the Kabbalah Center, known as Hollywood’s “Illuminati.“

The Kabbalah Center are offering athletes false promises and incentives that are based in criminal behavior, to join. They are also secretly using famous pro-athletes names to dupe and extract large financial donations from corporations, organizations and members of the public, whilst lying the money will go to charity.

Instead the funds have been going to support Madonna and the Berg's lavish lifestyle in Beverly Hills, California, New York and London, England. Madonna and the Kabbalah Center have also illegally hidden millions in charitable donations they deceitfully solicited from companies, organizations and members of the public, in secret accounts in the Caribbean and Europe, which is a violation of U.S. law.

The Kabbalah Center’s aim in targeting professional athletes is twofold. Their goal is to also lure them away from their current managers, agents and promoters, to whom they are contractually obligated, which is unethical, to enable the cult to financially exploit their careers. The Kabbalah Center then takes over their careers, when they know absolutely nothing about sports management, filling these athletes heads with mumbo jumbo and crazy cult practices, destroying their peace of mind and mental stability. They are experimenting with professional athletes careers and to their detriment, while  causing problems in their respective genres of sport.

Sports managers, agents and promoters need to protect their athletes from this cult. Athletes also need to be very wary of this cult. They are known for criminally spying on their members and people they target for exploitation via criminally commissioned phone hacking, computer hacking, email hacking, wiretapping and stalking.

The Kabbalah Center are money hungry charlatans duping athletes into thinking they have special insight into their lives which will bring them success and prosperity. When in actuality, only talent and hard work will win in any sports venue. There are no shortcuts. Let no one dupe you into believing the lie that chants, symbols, spells, charms and or potions will bring you success in sports or any other facet of life.

The Kabbalah Center still has hackers and private investigators committing crimes (as seen in the Anthony Pellicano case, which I gave the FBI testimony and evidence regarding before his arrest and in the News Corp phone hacking scandal, which I broke first via a police complaint to the Metropolitan Police in London - read more about that here).

The Kabbalah Center knows personal things about the athletes and other people with assets they target for exploitation, from the aforementioned commissioned illegal surveillance, but are duping them into believing that it is due to special spiritual insights the Kabbalah Center and their so-called psychic mystics possess. It's nothing but a con.


Yehuda Berg

Steroids

Athletes need to be wary of the Kabbalah Center and its famous member. One athlete that got mixed up with them saw one of his supplements sabotaged. Another athlete that got mixed up with the Kabbalah Center was offered supplements that they claimed were all natural, would aid in recovery after intense workouts and naturally boost his performance during official events giving him an edge, but it turns out they would have caused him to test positive on regulation anti-doping tests, had he taken them.

Athletes need to be careful of items the Kabbalah Center is telling them are just vitamins, supplements or recovery items. The Kabbalah Center is reckless, dangerous and crazy. There exists an incident of the Kabbalah Center tampering with the vitamins and supplements in a pro-athletes home out of spite, when he did something inoffensive that upset one of the leaders in the irrational, vengeful cult.

Athletes shouldn’t even leave their drinks around members of the Kabbalah Center in social settings. Nor should athletes and other targets voluntarily grant the Kabbalah Center access to their homes. It is begging for trouble to do so. They have no respect for the law and have done some terrible things to innocent people.

Athletes work hours a day, week in and week out, in grueling training sessions for years and not to have their careers derailed by a psychotic cult out for money and power via exploiting others. For the sake of your careers and well being, avoid them. They are not looking out for your best interest. They only seek to take advantage of you and fill your mind with mental illness, so they can control you and your assets.

Drugging

The Kabbalah Center is also known for drugging people. One of the main figures in the cult, Yehuda Berg, was sued recently for drugging, sexually assaulting and try to rape a woman that he threatened to beat and “f******g kill” for refusing his sexual advances. Members of the cult, known as chevre (see: slave) have also been drugged and brainwashed by the cult into engaging in illegal and unethical behavior (stalking, break-ins, acts of violence, theft, vandalism).

I can speak from experience regarding the Kabbalah Center that some of the non-famous members of the cult have broken into different people’s homes in America and Britain, among other places. Norman Oosterbrook, the bodyguard for Kabbalah members Jay-Z, Beyonce, Rihanna and Lady Gaga among others in the cult, was killed by police in Miami last year after breaking into a house in the city and rifling through the homeowners’ things. The break-in was not based in theft of items such as jewelry or electronics, as standard burglars do. When the Kabbalah Center arranges a break-in it is often to criminally plant hidden surveillance items (audio and video) and or steal copyrights, protected trade secrets, private documents or incriminating items regarding their misconduct apart of court cases.

During break-ins to my property that were reported to the police and FBI, a bottle of medicine I take for allergies was stolen and another bottle tampered with. I have allergies that I take medication to keep under control, as my doctor is only aware of a set number of items I am allergic to and over the past few years, we have discovered three new items I have a serious allergy to. For them to have stolen allergy medication and tampered with one of the allergy medicines the intruder didn’t steal, is vile and dangerous. It shows malicious intent.

Oprah Winfrey's Interview With Lance Armstrong Brought Out Controversial Facts And Confessions


Lance Armstrong and Oprah Winfrey

A skeptical Oprah Winfrey interviewed disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong, regarding allegations of steroids use for most of his professional career. The interview did not paint Armstrong in the best light, as Winfrey not only got him to confess, she extracted other facts regarding the impact of his conduct upon those around him.

While the Judiciary Report has sympathy for Armstrong as a cancer survivor, his destructive deeds toward many caused others a significant amount of pain and he deprived others of their rightful place in world history when he cheated and won many events as a result.

For example, those in Armstrong's circle who began to speak out about his steroids use, which equates to him cheating his way to 7 prestigious Tour De France titles and an Olympic medal, all of which have now been stripped and revoked, they were threatened and brutalized in court and the press by the cyclist.

Armstrong's former masseuse, Emma O'Reilly, was publicly defamed by Armstrong, labeled a "whore" and sued by the cyclist for speaking out and telling the truth. Betsy Andreu, wife of Armstrong's teammate, Frankie Andreu, testified during an investigation that she heard the cyclist state to his doctor in the hospital that he used, "EPO, testosterone, cortisone, growth hormone and steroids."

As a result, Armstrong viciously slammed and sued Andreu for telling the truth. He publicly called her "crazy" and a "bi**h." Winfrey asked him why he did so stating, "You called her crazy and other terrible things." Armstrong inappropriately joked to Winfrey regarding Andreu, "I called you crazy, I called you a bi**h...but I never called you fat" as his response to his teammate's wife.

Armstrong put Andreu and others through court based nightmares that cost them a fortune in legal fees, all because they truthfully responded to questions about his doping. Armstrong should be made to make full financial restitution with interest and penalties. The people he sued for telling the truth were not rich and his conduct maliciously damaged their finances.

His actions also led Winfrey to state, "You're suing people and you know that they are telling the truth. What is that." Sadly, it is a mentally unbalanced Hollywood tactic to sue those that tell the truth about one's unlawful behavior and it is the circles Armstrong moved in for many years.

Winfrey asked Armstrong about the truth now coming out about his dishonesty, cheating and lies, "Did you not think this day was coming. did you not think you would be found out... did you not always think this day was coming... first of all, third law of motion. what you put out is going to come back. did you not think you would be found out at some point especially since so many people knew." He responded he wanted his own way.


Lance Armstrong

It was discovered that Armstrong tried to bribe the USADA (US Anti-Doping Agency) in 2004 with a $25,000 personal check, to cover up his doping, when allegations against him grew louder (Lance Armstrong reportedly tried paying off USADA in 2004).

Here's the kicker in this case that has further exposed corruption at the FBI and Department of Justice under FBI Director Robert S. Mueller and Attorney General Eric Holder. In 2010, the DOJ launched an investigation into allegations regarding Armstrong's doping (fraud, witness tampering, drug trafficking). In February 2011, the FBI and Department of Justice mysteriously dropped the case, as is their way when a high profile celebrity has flagrantly broken the law.

Winfrey stated, "When the Department of Justice just dropped that case and nobody knows why, did you have any influence in that?" Winfrey implied he had issued another bribe or some incentive to make the case unlawfully disappear. And as stated in the past, as the Judiciary Report knows firsthand from what well connected sources have informed the site, the FBI Director took an unrelated $1,000,000 bribe from Madonna in this case and his employees have been caught red-handed accepting large bribes in other cases (FBI Agent Arrested For Accepting A $200,000 Bribe To Derail A Criminal Case The FBI Was Supposed To Be Investigating).

After the FBI and DOJ deliberately failed, when there was so much evidence and so many witnesses, the USADA stepped up 6-months later in July 2011 and charged Armstrong with "possession, trafficking and using banned substances." Armstrong sued the USADA to block it and the case was dismissed. The USADA branded Armstrong's conduct as mafia-like in nature. USADA CEO, Travis Tygart stated, "Parts of this scheme were run like a mafia."

World famous sponsor Nike dropped Armstrong and rightfully so, to which he commented, "A 75 million dollar deal gone." As the Judiciary Report has been reinforcing for months via articles, sponsors don't like scandal, controversy or inappropriate behavior. They have to protect their brands and will head for the hills when witnessing an entertainer or athlete engage in questionable conduct. They give one money in good faith and expect a positive return on their investment - not positive drug tests, scandal and taint.

Then there's the personal aspect of the cheating and fraud. His mom is "a wreck." His kids are embarrassed for defending him. His foundation is in shambles by association. People need to think about their families and friends before they engage in the aforementioned conduct. It is better to come second, third, fourth ect... than win dishonorably. As the site has stated for years, history has a terrible way of correcting itself. It's simply not worth it.

At the end of the day, God can forgive Armstrong and so should the public. He needs to make amends personally, professionally and financially for all the damage he has caused. Time to face the music and do what is right.

Side Bar: I am of the belief Armstrong's doping contributed to him developing cancer. He was repeatedly disrupting his body's natural functions and balance in a significant way, via introducing foreign substances into his system that become carcinogens.

Usain Bolt Takes Issue With Carl Lewis Steroids Comments He Brands An Insult


Usain Bolt

Former sprint star and gold medalist, Carl Lewis, issued controversial statements about Jamaica, criticizing the island nation's steroid screening program, due to the massive success of sprinters such as Usain Bolt. According to U.K. Sport, Lewis, who was cited three times for doping, but had each citation overturned in U.S. court, made inaccurate and incorrect statements about the nation of Jamaica by stating, "I think there are some issues. Countries like Jamaica do not have a random (drugs testing) program, so they can go months without being tested. I'm not saying anyone is on anything, but everyone needs to be on a level playing field. I'm not saying they've done anything for certain. I don't know. But how dare anybody feel that there shouldn't be scrutiny, especially in our sport?"

Lewis kept making disparaging comments from the time of the Beijing Olympics, escalating it, upset that Bolt had broken his record and began implying Jamaica had somehow found a magic steroid that had not been detected, which is untrue. Furthermore, Bolt was the most tested athlete at the Beijing and London Olympics.

Yesterday, Bolt finally responded to Lewis' comments during an interview. Bolt expressed admiration for U.S. Sprinting legend, Michel Johnson, but spoke of his disdain for Lewis' statements. Bolt stated, "I'm going to say something controversial right now. Carl Lewis, I have no respect for him. The things he says about the track athletes is really downgrading for another athlete to say something like that. I think he's just looking for attention, really, because nobody really talks much about him. That was really sad for me when I heard the other day what he was saying. It was upsetting. I've lost all respect for him. All respect." 


Carl Lewis

When further questioned about his response, this prompted the fastest man alive, Bolt, to reveal the nature of Lewis' statements that had offended him, in the aforementioned interview yesterday. Bolt replied, "It was all about drugs. Talking about drugs. For me, an athlete out of the sport to be saying that. That was really upsetting for me. Really upsetting. To jump up and say something like that. As far as I'm concerned he's looking for attention. That's all."

I was disappointed that Lewis had made those statements. It would have been nice if he had just been happy for his fellow global sprinters that have done well. Bolt's rise and that of his teammates has advanced the sport, making it even more popular with a new generation. That should be one of the goals of every sport.
When you look at what newer stars such as Lebron James has done for basketball, Michael Phelps has done for swimming and Bolt has done for sprinting, among others, deceiving us all into thinking we can go out there and do the same and not fall flat on our faces (or end up with a busted lip because you falsely think you're Michael Jordan), as they've made it look so easy and fun, it's a good thing. Somewhere in that global group of admirers, future athletes are inspired to work hard and make it to the top as well. That doesn't deserve pessimism.
