Armstron's lawyer rubbishes report of doping probe

A lawyer acting for seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong has rubbished a report claiming that a federal investigation into the American is gathering pace

Les Rousses (France): A lawyer acting for seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong has rubbished a report claiming that a federal investigation into the American is gathering pace.

Armstrong is reportedly at the centre of a probe in the United States following doping allegations made by ex-teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France crown after testing positive.

A lawyer acting for Armstrong, Timothy Herman, said: "Garbage inu00a0-- Garbage out. That's the best way to describe the Wall Street Journal article today based on improper leaks and discredited innuendo about the investigation into Floyd Landis ever changing stories."
