Armstrong said in a statement on Tuesday, April 7, 2009, he did not try to evade a March 17 test in which, blood, urine and hair samples were collected and were ultimately found to be drug free. France's anti-doping agency sent a report on Armstrong's behavior during the test to cycling's governing body and the World Anti-Doping Agency. At question is a 20-minute delay when Armstrong says the tester agreed to let him shower while his assistants checked the tester's credentials. (AP Photo/Michael A. Mariant, File)
