Lance Armstrong Turns Down 'Dancing With The Stars'

Lance Armstrong has been offered a spot on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

In his televised interview with Oprah Winfrey, 58, last week, the former seven-time Tour de France champion finally admitted using performance-enhancing substances during his career. ABC felt his appearance would generate a lot of buzz for the show and potentially give a boost to his tarnished image.

Armstrong is among several high-profile “get big” celebrities who are regularly asked to join the show. “Lance has been offered the show each and every year since its inception,” Armstrong’s spokesperson told EW. “Although flattered he has passed on their generous offers.”

The news of Armstrong turning down the show's offer once again comes in the same week it was revealed that Lindsay Lohan, 26, turned down a $550,000 offer to do the show.
