CHALLANS, France : Reigning champion Lance Armstrong of the United States was given a surprise anti-doping test on the eve of the Tour de France, race sources revealed.

The test was carried out in the afternoon by doctors from the French sports ministry.

Cycling's world governing body UCI decides which riders will undergo spot tests from both blood and urine samples during the three week race.

All 189 riders on the Tour de France were Thursday declared fit to race after blood tests showed no doping.

Armstrong opens his bid for a seventh consecutive crown Saturday in the opening stage, a 19km time trial through western France.

Go Lance go! I'm rooting for him. A peoples champ for sure. What a guy! And his woman is awesome!

One of the world's best athletes, you can't knock him.

hes been tested plenty of times, and has never tested positive. according to the media now a days no one that is dominate in their sport can be clean...lets test ali, michael jordan, barry sanders. im sick of steriod talk. baseball ruined all sports.

He's the most tested athlete in the world. I watched a special on him on the Discovery channel. His heart actually does more efficient work than most people, which is why he can dominate. He gets something like 100% more oxygen out of every breath than average people :|

hes an alien :)

i think trilogy is right

lol, I am glad he tested negative to drugs.

The french people gave him all this crap last time. I wouldn't be suprised if they tried to sabatoge his race.

Nothing the French do surprises me lol:)!!!!
