Lance Armstrong slams 'stale allegations' by US Anti-Doping Agency

? Seven-times Tour de France winner hits back at Usada
? American says allegations were 'disproved long ago'

Lance Armstrong has filed a scathing response to the latest doping allegations against him, accusing the US Anti-Doping Agency of violating its own rules and possibly breaking federal law during its investigation.

Armstrong's lawyers called the Usada claims "long on stale allegations disproved long ago and short on evidence".

Friday was the deadline for the seven-times Tour de France winner to respond to Usada's warning of pending charges.

The agency alleged Armstrong used performance-enhancing drugs and other improper methods to win cycling's premier event from 1999-2005. Armstrong denies doping, noting that he has never failed a drug test. The American could be stripped of his titles if found guilty.

The case now goes to a Usada review board.
