Insurance company, Lance's Tour bonus?

Ask Brian Lafferty. He knows all about this sort of stuff.
In fact he's been discussing it here in RBR currently.

He knows more than the plaintiffs, ins. companies, and defendants
combined since he read the stupid Walsh book.

Regrettably, I don't have the insurance company's name at my fingertips. A
google search will surly find it quickly. The rest of your statement is
correct in as much as my knowledge base is broader than someone who has not
read the Walsh book.

SCA Promotions (Google).

This company has paid Armstrong molt-million dollar bonuses for previous
Tour wins. They have placed the money at issue in escrow pending
litigation.

Isn't that what insurance companies do-
try to wimp out of paying out any chance they get ?

Insurance Company (def.) - a business entity that sells coverage and
denies liability.

I'm a recent lurker. I just can't seem to get enough inside cycling
info. But it took this to draw me out.

It's something like SCA Promotions in Dallas, on Preston Road across
from the Houstons, not far from Sevi's. They are a specialty insurer
and assume the risk of many sporting event promotions - like a fan
kicking a field goal from the 20-yard line during half-time at an NFL
game. Bob Hammon heads this company. He's a very smart guy and a
world-class bridge player.

"Bob Hammon heads this company. He's a very smart guy and a
world-class bridge player. "

Who is very poor at handicapping cycling events.
