CYCLING

RICHMOND, Va. — Slovakian star Peter Sagan attacked with a mile left in the road world championsh­ips, then grit his teeth and powered down Broad Street to capture the gold medal in a thrilling finish. It was the first medal in the men’s road world championsh­ips for Slovakia.

AUSTIN, Texas — With a payment and an apology, Lance Armstrong settled a decadelong dispute with a promotions company that sought repayment of more than $10 million in bonuses it paid the former cyclist during a career that later was exposed to be fueled by performanc­e-enhancing drugs. Dallas-based SCA Promotions first pursued evidence of doping against Armstrong in 2005. Although the company paid Armstrong in 2006, the testimony in its lawsuit and arbitratio­n case helped lay the foundation for later doping charges that ultimately got Armstrong banned from the sport and stripped of his record seven Tour de France victories.
