Lance ‘not bothered’ by monitoring

LANCE ARMSTRONG, pictured, insists he is not bothered by being “particularly monitored” by anti-doping controls at the Tour de France.

French sports minister Roselyne Bachelot said yesterday an especially close eye would be kept on the Astana rider.

“The (doping) controls will be multiplied, and I tell Lance Armstrong that he will be particularly, particularly, particularly monitored,” Bachelot said. “There needs to be a really very, very active fight against doping. The organisers know how much a positive doping test could have harmful effects.”
