As if you had any doubt, Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel have patently dismissed all of Floyd Landis’ claims and allegations.

In a roughly 10 minute press conference outside the RadioShack team bus this morning before the start of Stage 5 of the Amgen Tour of California, both spoke on the issue.  Here are the choice quotes:

LANCE ARMSTRONG:
“With regards to the specific allegations, the specific claims, they’re not even worth getting into it. I’m not going to waste my time or your time.”

“We have nothing to hide. We have nothing to run from. It’s our word against his word. I like our word. We like our credibility. I think history speaks for itself here. We have all followed this case for the last four years. We followed Floyd wining the Tour. We don’t know what he did or didn’t do on that team. We can only speak about what he did on our team.”

“At the end of the day, he pointed the finger at everybody still involved in cycling,” Armstrong said. “Everybody that still enjoys the sport, that still believes in the sport. Everybody still working in the sport was in the crosshairs. I’m standing here with you guys because I won the Tour de France seven times. But you gotta keep in mind that the guy in the yellow jersey at this race is also in the crosshairs. And that’s not by accident. And maybe that’s a good strategy to get as much attention as possible. If I can use Allen Lim as an example — somebody that I view as someone that has the highest standards of anyone in this sport — the fact that he’s thrown in there speaks volumes.”

Editor’s note: Alan Lim is a technical training and nutrition adviser to Team RadioShack, which Lance lured away from Garmin-Transitions for the 2010 season.  More on that here, if you’re interested.

Four years, $2M dollars, a book, testimony under oath and all Floyd has left is a 180 degree reversal on everything he’s said for the last four years and into scorched earth tactics? Wow.

Weird that all of the questions (save one (I think)) came from the same woman.

Floyd is a lying Dbag for sure; He has no credibility because of this fact. Just another black eye to professional cycling.

Oh, but Lance, it is worth getting into it. Enquiring minds want to know. Way to skirt the question. We don’t care what Floyd did on THAT team. We wanna know what he did on YOUR team. Please tell…
