Lance Armstrong has settled a long-running dispute with insurance company SCA Promotions over the repayment of $10m (£6.6) paid to the former cyclist in relation to his seven Tour de France victories, before he confessed to doping.
Armstrong sued the American company in 2005 after it refused to pay him in relation to his sixth victory in 2004, with the Texan receiving $2.5m (£1.65m) in damages and costs plus the $7.5m (£4.94m) payment he was originally owed.
