Lance Armstrong assailed a new book going on sale in France tomorrow as "another baseless attack."

The book is by Pierre Ballester and David Walsh, who wrote L.A. Confidential: The Secrets of Lance Armstrong in 2004. The new book is based on testimony given in a legal dispute between Armstrong and Dallas-based SCA Promotions with a bonus contract with the cyclist, a seven-time Tour de France champion.

The French daily Le Monde reported the new book, L.A. Official evokes the, "strategies put in place by the Armstrong 'clan' to preserve intact 'the legend.' "

SCA Promotions tried to withhold a $5 million bonus owed Armstrong for winning his sixth straight Tour de France, citing allegations of cheating in the book L.A. Confidential.

Armstrong sued, and testimony in the dispute included statements from former teammate Frankie Andreu and his wife, who alleged Armstrong told doctors he used performance-enhancing drugs.

Armstrong vigorously denied the claims. The arbitration panel ruled in his favor, ordering the company to pay him $7.5 million.

"I raced clean. I won clean," Armstrong said in a statement.
