AUSTIN, Texas -- Lance Armstrong resisted turning over records sought by U. NFL Jerseys Paypal .S Postal Service investigators, then tried to keep the inquiry under seal and out of the public eye, according to recently released court documents. In 2011, Postal Service officials investigating Armstrong and his teams for doping wanted records from his team management groups, financial statements, training journals and correspondence with former training consultant Michele Ferrari. Armstrong eventually complied with the subpoena but as recently as October was still asking the courts to keep the inquiry private. "Theyve been given everything they wanted and that they asked for ... months ago," Armstrong attorney Tim Herman said Tuesday. The Postal Service was Armstrongs main sponsor when he won the Tour de France from 1999-2004. The team was sponsored by the Discovery Channel for Armstrongs seventh victory in 2005. Armstrong was stripped of those titles this year. Last week, federal Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson in Washington ordered the subpoena and Armstrongs efforts to keep it private released to the public. The judge rejected Armstrongs arguments that releasing the subpoena would violate the secrecy of the grand jury process or a pending whistleblower lawsuit filed against Armstrong by former teammate Floyd Landis. But by Tuesday night, the federal courts online case tracking system was again showing the case as sealed from public view. The documents Robinson had ordered released had been available online for several hours earlier in the day. There was no document available Tuesday night showing if a court had ordered the case resealed, and Armstrongs attorneys did not immediately respond to telephone and email messages seeking comment. Armstrong was still the target of a federal criminal grand jury investigation into allegations of doping on the Postal Service teams when the subpoena was issued. That investigation was closed in February with no charges filed. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency investigated Armstrong for doping and in August ordered him stripped of his seven Tour de France titles. In October, the agency released a massive report detailing performance-enhancing drug use by Armstrong and his teammates. The report included sworn statements from 11 former teammates, including Landis. Armstrong denies doping and insists he never cheated, but chose not to fight the USADA charges. NFL Jerseys Cheap .

NFL Jerseys Sale . Indians vice president Bob DiBiasio says Dolan was taken to the hospital Wednesday and will remain there for observation.The NHL has moved one step closer to calling off another season because of a labour dispute. Regular-season games through Jan. 14 were wiped off the schedule on Thursday afternoon, setting up a potential timeline for the leagues collective bargaining negotiations with the NHL Players Association. It was likely the final batch of games that will be cancelled during the lockout. If commissioner Gary Bettman holds true to his word that the league must play at least a 48-game schedule with playoffs ending in June, the next announcement from the league will either be a new CBA or a second cancelled season in eight years. "When it gets to the point where we cant play a season with integrity, with a representative schedule, then well be done," Bettman said earlier this month. "If you go back in history, in 94-95 I think we played 48 games. I cant imagine wanting to play fewer than that." A total of 625 games have been cancelled because of the current lockout, which represents 50.8 per cent of the season. The all-star game in Columbus has also been axed. When the NHL staged a 48-game season following the 1994-95 lockout, the CBA was agreed to on Jan. 11 and the puck was dropped on Jan. 20. The regular season ran through May 3 and saw the Stanley Cup awarded on June 24 -- thanks to sweeps in four of the last seven playoff series. The league contemplated the possibility of a 28-game season in 2004-05 before finally cancelling play on Feb. 16. There was no statement included with Thursdays announcement of the additional game cancellations. In an email, deputy commissioner Bill Daly declined to characterize whether Jan. 15 could be viewed as the lastest date to salvagee a shortened schedule. NFL Jerseys For Sale. Talks have been at a standstill since the NHLPA last presented a proposal on Dec. 6 in New York. The sides also spent two days with a U.S. federal mediator last week and reported no progress. Meanwhile, the league and union continue to deal with the legal ramifications of the lockout. On Thursday, a court summons was filed in New York that stated the NHLPA has until Jan. 7 to respond to a class-action complaint filed by the NHL last week. The league has asked a federal court to rule on the legality of the lockout and argued in its complaint that the NHLPA was only threatening to disband as a bargaining tactic designed to "extract more favourable terms and conditions of employment." A vote of the unions membership on the possibility of filing a "disclaimer of interest" is scheduled to wrap up Friday. Two-thirds of players must support the motion for the NHLPAs executive board to be granted the authority to disclaim by Jan. 2, which would allow them to file anti-trust lawsuits against the league. "We feel like we have no other choice right now," Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos said this week. "We feel like weve done our part and well see what transpires over the next couple of weeks. Were in this process and we all wish we could have something much earlier, but we have to deal with whats in front of us." There are currently no further bargaining sessions planned. On Wednesday night, NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr said the union was ready to get back to the bargaining table but it hadnt happened yet "because the owners have not indicated a desire to resume."
