    Report: Lance Armstrong Turns Down Dancing with the Stars

    Lance Armstrong has reportedly become the latest celebrity to turn down Dancing with the Stars.

    Less than a week after Armstrong's public admission that he used performance-enhancing substances during his Tour de France victories, the disgraced cyclist has declined a spot on ABC's dancing competition, Entertainment Weekly reports. Last week, Lindsay Lohan reportedly rejected a $50,000 offer to appear on the show.

    But it apparently wasn't the recent publicity around Armstrong that sparked ABC's interest. A spokesperson for Armstrong told EW the former Olympian "has been offered the show each and every year since its inception. Although flattered, he has passed on their generous offers."
