The disgraced athletics coach Trevor Graham is suing the US Anti-Doping Agency for $42 million, saying it slandered him.
Graham was banned for life two years ago for his role in helping athletes acquire performance-enhancing drugs.
He's representing himself in the lawsuit and says the USADA should have granted him a hearing before the American Arbitration Association.
He denies supplying the now-disgraced sprint stars Marion Jones, Justin Gatlin and Tim Montgomery.
Graham served a year of home confinement for making false statements to a federal agent in the BALCO steroid investigation - which he helped launch by sending the agency a sample of the previously unknown steroid THG in 2003.
