The chief doctor of the U.S. Postal Service-backed cycling team for five of Lance Armstrong’s Tour de France wins said allegations by former member Floyd Landis of a doping regime on the squad aren’t credible.
U.S. authorities are investigating after Landis made the claims in e-mails to cycling officials this year. In an April 30 e-mail, Landis said that at the 2003 Vuelta a Espana race a team doctor he didn’t name gave him blood transfusions to increase stamina along with Andriol, a synthetic testosterone.
