Lance Armstrong Attacks Tyler Hamilton After Doping Claim: 'Not Credible'

Lance Armstrong has taken his defense against Tyler Hamilton's 60 Minutes cheating allegations to another level, producing a long and detailed takedown of Hamilton on a site called Facts4Lance.com. On the page it's claimed Hamilton is lying to make money off a book deal, sold out Armstrong so that the government will let him keep his Olympic gold medal and so on.

A history of Hamilton's own doping denials is presented, which aims to show that he's finally telling the truth now that money's on the line. Though, of course, that doesn't necessarily mean he's still a liar.

Hamilton also sent a letter to friends and family in advance of the report, apologizing to the for having cheated during his cycling career. It's clearly addressed to an audience that isn't aware of Hamilton's own doping.
