Sacramento GOP consultant files suit against Lance Armstrong

Sacramento-based Republican strategist Rob Stutzman and local chef Jonathan Wheeler have filed a class-action lawsuit against Lance Armstrong and his publishers, alleging that the infamous cyclist deceived readers in a 2001 best seller.

The 59-page suit lays out various “misrepresentations” in Armstrong’s “It’s Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life.” It says Armstrong credited his Tour de France success to training, diet and drive while denying that he ever used banned substances.

The suit was filed Tuesday in Sacramento’s U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, alleging unfair business practices, fraud, false advertising and deceit. The complaint seeks, among other things, attorney’s fees and refunds for California customers who purchased the book.
