PARIS, Oct 18 (SW) - French authors Pierre Ballester and David Walsh, writers of the controversial book 'LA Confidentiel', have completed a sequel which will be published on Thursday.
In 'LA Official', the two continue to accuse Lance Armstrong of using forbidden substances to help winning the Tour de France seven times.
The book includes information about Armstrong's deal with insurance company SCA, who promised the rider 9,5 million Dollar if he won the Tour de France from 2001 to 2004.
This contract was terminated as result of doping accusations.
Australian doctor Michael Ashenden also occurs in the book. The designer of the EPO test says that "there is no doubt that Armstrong used forbidden substances".
