Online resources: The year 2012 had been tough for Armstrong. Once a cycling legend and cancer survivor, he had been found guilty of doping and stripped off his titles. After the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) report highlighting his doping was released, all of Armstrongs sponsors had dropped him. He said in an interview, I dont like thinking about it. But that was, I dont know, a {dollar}75-million day. This was the amount he lost in a single day. Next, came the battle with the Sunday Times, whom he had sued in 2006 for calling him a drug cheat and had been awarded D300,000. After Armstrong had accepted the doping charges, Sunday Times had sued him back for about D1 million in December, 2012.
