Lance livid over new slur

SEVEN-TIME Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has made furious attacks on former team-mates, US broadcaster CBS and a federal investigator after the latest drug claims against him.

The Texan launched a website www.facts4lance.com after CBS began trailing excerpts from a documentary about him which included claims from Olympic gold medallist Tyler Hamilton that he had seen his one-time US Postal team-mate inject himself with EPO.

Hamilton, who has testified to a grand jury behind closed doors about doping at US Postal, is described as “a confessed liar in search of a book deal”.

CBS, whose 60 Minutes programme will broadcast the full interview with Hamilton on Sunday, are accused of a “serious beach” of journalistic ethics by not providing Armstrong with the names of riders who had made allegations against him.

Hamilton says: “(Armstrong) took what we all took, the majority of the peloton.”
