Jeffrey Tillotson, an attorney for SCA Promotions, said the company has asked Armstrong for the money back.
“We made our demand for the return of the money we paid him for winning the Tour de France races where the titles were stripped,” Tillotson said. “Mr. Armstrong and his legal team have not complied with that demand.”
An attorney for Armstrong told CNN the claim has no merit.
According to CNN, Armstrong sued SCA after it delayed his 2005 bonus payment and raised questions about allegations he used performance-enhancing drugs. SCA and Armstrong settled a year later.
Armstrong confessed last month to using performance-enhancing drugs during each of his seven wins in the Tour de France, USA Today reported.
