Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(iii): Damages
The United States seeks a judgment for damages from Defendants, jointly and severally, Tailwind Sports Corp., Lance Armstrong, and Johan Bruyneel, and any other Defendants to be added later. The United States’ computation of its damages from 1998 through 2004 – single damages without consideration of multipliers and penalties – is $40,520,765.83. This amount is based on the amount the USPS paid on claims submitted by Tailwind from 1998 through 2004, as explained in paragraph 5 of the United States’ complaint. Each of these claims is false and fraudulent, and violates the False Claims Act (FCA). Pursuant to the FCA, 31 U.S.C. § 3729(a), the United States is entitled to recover treble damages and penalties for all claims paid on or after June 10, 2000. The amount of such claims
Case 1:10-cv-00976-RLW Document 171-6 Filed 06/04/14 Page 13 of 18
13is $32,321,821.94. The United States seeks three times that amount, plus the maximum penalties allowed by the FCA, with respect to all claims paid on or after June 10, 2000. With respect to claims submitted from 1998 to June 10, 2000, and to the extent the United States prevails only on its common law fraud or breach of contract claims with respect to any period on or after June 10, 2000, the damages the United States seeks are the single damages described above, plus pre- and post-judgment interest. To the extent the United States prevails only on its unjust enrichment claims with respect to any time period, the damages the United States seeks are the amount by which the particular defendant was unjustly enriched, plus pre- and post-judgment interest. The United States will make the documents or other evidentiary material on which these computations are based available for inspection and copying, unless privileged or protected, pursuant to Rule 26(a)(1)(A)(iii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The United States anticipates using experts to present evidence regarding its damages, including alternative measures of damages based upon the negative impact of the team’s doping on the USPS.
