Lance Armstrong has hit back at the latest accusation by Floyd Landis in Saturday's edition of the Wall Street Journal, comparing his form🌸er teammate's credibility🦄 to a carton of sour milk.

"Today’s Wall Street Journal article is full of false accusations and more of the same old news from Floyd Landis, a person with zero credibility and an established pattern of recanting tomorrow what he swears to today," Armstrong said in a statement published on the lancearmstrong.com site.

In a new allegation, Landis also claimed that the team sold off bike from sponsor Trek to ♌create a fund to pay for a doping prog⭕ramme.

The Wall Street Journal reported that three other former U.S. Postal riders had said in interviews that doping had occurred at the team, during the time Armstrong was🌞 its lead rider. Several other riders said they had never seen doping going on during their time on the team.

"The art💝icle repeats many of Landis’ baseless and already-discredited claims against many successful people in cycling, and even includes some newly created Landis concoctions," Armstrong continued in his statement.

"Landis’ credibility is like a carton of sour milk: once you take the first sip, you don🌠’t havꦅe to drink the rest to know it has all gone bad."

"For years,♈ sensational stories – based on the allegations of ax-grinders -- have surfaced on the eve of the Tour for publicity reasons, and this article is simply no di🌄fferent."

Armstrong is scheduled to startไ his final Tour de France prologue at 19:30 local time in Rotterdam late🐟r today. He insists he will not be distracted by the latest allegations.

"Lastly, I hav𓄧e too much work to do during this, my final Tour, and then after my retirement in my continued fight 🌱against cancer, to add any attention to this predictable pre-Tour sensationalism."
