Update on Armstrong: Not surprisingly, Lance Armstrong's attempts to stifle a book that accuses him of doping have not gone well. A French judge called his effort an "abuse of the system" and ordered the cyclist to pay a fine of $1800, as well as legal fees. He was also ordered to pay one symbolic euro in damages for faulty procedure.



Armstrong, who has never been sanctioned for the use of a banned substance in his career, will try for a record sixth straight Tour de France title on Saturday.
