The Sunday Times is suing Lance Armstrong for a 2004 libel settlement. If it was so sure of story, why did it settle in the first place?
@JonMWelch Sure, but still don’t see how that allows the Sunday Times to reclaim damages. They chose to back down.

@bazzacollins Presumably because there is now no doubt Armstrong was a doper. In 2004 it was still a very bold claim. -
@JonMWelch It seems like a game of poker to me, where The Sunday Times folded and now wants its money back because Lance has a pair of twos -
@bazzacollins They settled on the basis of what could be proved at the time. Eight years on there's a lot more evidence.
