Tim Herman, Lance Armstrong’s Texas-based attorney, said Tuesday that federal prosecutors have subpoenaed documents from a 2004 case in which a Texas-based promotions company tried to refuse making a bonus payment to the cyclist for his Tour de France win.

In that case, SCA Promotions and Armstrong went to arbitration after the company tried to withhold a $5-million performance bonus. SCA argued that published allegations of Armstrong’s possible doping negated its contract with Armstrong. SCA eventually paid Armstrong both the bonus money plus attorneys’ fees and interest that totaled $7.5 million.
