Armstrong-Simeoni hearing date postponed

By Tim Maloney - European Editor

A court in Latina, Italy has delayed to December 14 the date it will bring the case brought by Filippo Simeoni against Lance Armstrong for defamation forward or throw the entire case out. Judge Nicola Ianfidi will rule then whether the Latina court even has any territorial jurisdiction in the Simeoni case, as Armstrong's allegedly defamatory comments were in a French newspaper.
