Lance Armstrong's former team doctor dismisses Floyd Landis doping claims
Luis Garcia del Moral, the chief doctor of Lance Armstrong's United States Postal Service team when he won the Tour de France five times, has dismissed Floyd Landis's accusations that Armstrong and some team-mates used banned drugs.
Del Moral, who oversaw the team's medical staff from 1999 to 2003, said he never witnessed any doping programmes during his time with the Johan Bruyneel-led American team.
Landis has accused Armstrong of blood doping, which the seven-times Tour champion denies.
Del Moral said Landis's allegations were "a joke" and that he was not aware of any cheating, saying: "I don't know anything about all of this." Del Moral said he would answer questions for federal investigators should he be summoned.
