The seven-time Tour de France winner, Lance Armstrong, has denied retesting six samples from his first Tour de France win to see if they contain EPO traces.

The possibility of asking Armstrong to undergo a new analysis of the urine samples taken from the 1999 Tour was sparked by President of the French anti-doping agency (AFLD), Pierre Bordry.

The world of cycling has seen many doping scandals in the last decade and many in the world believe that Armstrong was not clean when he won his seven successive Tours between 1999 and 2005 despite the fact that he has never been caught cheating.
