Lance Armstrong turns down 'Dancing with the Stars'

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has reportedly turned down the chance to appear on reality show Dancing with the Stars.

The 41-year-old, who admitted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that he doped throughout his career earlier this month, was offered a place on the new ABC series, despite his fall from grace.

"Lance has been offered the show each and every year since its inception," a source said, according to Entertainment Weekly. "Although flattered he has passed on their generous offers."

Armstrong was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles and issued with a lifetime ban.
