Claim about whether Armstrong owes assistant $300,000 is still pending

Austin American-Statesman
A district judge on Friday dismissed the breach of contract and fraud claims against Lance Armstrong by a former personal assistant.
Judge Margaret Cooper of the 353rd District Court, however, did not dismiss the claim that cycling champion Armstrong owed his former assistant, Mike Anderson, $300,000 for two years of work that he did beyond his duties as a bike mechanic.
The judge also did not dismiss Anderson’s claim that Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France champion, had libeled him by telling other people that Anderson had stolen items, said one of Anderson’s lawyers, Hal Gillespie. (more…)

Lance Armstrong and his girlfriend, singer Sheryl Crow, have been caught up in a bitter lawsuit brought against them by the cyclist’s former assistant, reports IMDb.com. Mike Anderson, who also worked as Mr. Armstrong’s mechanic, says he was wrongfully dismissed after performing above and beyond the call of duty. Mr. Anderson also says he had a deal with Mr. Armstrong to open up a bike shop, which has now been scrapped, and he wants $500,000 in damages. But Mr. Armstrong, who filed a law suit against Mr. Anderson in December seeking to declare an alleged employment contract invalid, laughs off the assertions. He insists he reluctantly fired Mr. Anderson because he was messing up his training schedule. “Mr. Anderson tends to get car sick on training rides in Spain, and Mr. Armstrong would have to go back, which was not the best training regimen,” said Tim Herman, Mr. Armstrong’s lawyer.
