Lance Armstrong: Cyclist sued for fraud after two men claim they were 'betrayed' by his books

Two men have filed a lawsuit against Lance Armstrong and his book publishers, charging that they were duped by the disgraced cyclist's deceptions that were printed in his writings.
Oprah's book club: The legal cry of fraud in books followed the example of readers who won a $2.75million settlement from literary hoaxer James Frey who, like Armstrong, confessed his deception in an interview with Oprah
Rob Stutzman and Jonathan Wheeler, both of California, claim that the pages of Armstrong's best-selling memoirs are nothing but lies after he confessed last week to systematic doping in a landmark interview with Queen of Talk Oprah Winfrey.
The class-action complaint was filed in federal court in Sacramento, California on Tuesday, five days after Armstrong ended years of vehement denial and admitted he had cheated his way to a record seven Tour de France titles through the use of banned, performance-enhancing drugs.
