Armstrong 'attempted to make large donation to anti-doping agency'
Lance Armstrong attempted to make a donation of "in excess of £150,000" to the US Anti Doping Agency shortly before his seventh Tour de France title, according to Travis Tygart, the organisation's chief executive.
"I was stunned," Tygart told CBS News. "It was a clear conflict of interest. We had no hesitation in rejecting that offer."
