Armstrong suit against USADA dismissed
http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/OtherSport.../19966951.html

U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks, who said he would allow lawyers to file an amended complaint within 20 days, called the suit a “lengthy and bitter polemic” rather than the “short and plain statement of detailed facts.”

“This court is not inclined to indulge Armstrong’s desire for publicity, self-aggrandizement, or vilification of defendants, by sifting through eighty mostly unnecessary pages in search of a few kernels of factual material relevant to the claims,” Sparks wrote in a three-page ruling, released only hours after the cyclist filed suit.
