(AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE) — Lance Armstrong has stepped up his attack on the US Anti-Doping Agency, saying the credibility of its case against him has been undermined by the fact that two key witnesses are self-confessed dope cheats.

Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France champion, questioned the credibility of Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton, his former teammates, in a letter to USADA from his lawyer dated Wednesday and obtained by The Washington Post.

USADA is hoping those two witnesses can help prove Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs during his career. Both have both accused Armstrong of doping.
