"It's our word against his word," Armstrong told reporters in Visalia, California, shortly before the start of the fifth stage of the Tour of California. "I like our word. We like our credibility."
Landis, who was stripped of his own 2006 Tour de France title after testing positive for elevated levels of testosterone, claimed he and other US cyclists conducted blood transfusions, and used steroids and the synthetic blood booster erythropoietin (EPO).
"Floyd lost his credibility a long time ago," said Armstrong, who crashed early in stage five abandoned the Tour of California. "We have nothing to hide. We have nothing to run from."
