CYCLING: Lance Armstrong has hit back at Astana team-mate and Tour de France winner Alberto Contador as the pair’s war of words continued.

Contador described his relationship with the seven-time winner as “zero”, but Armstrong said: “If I were him I’d drop this drivel and thank his team. Without them he doesn’t win.”
