PARIS: Lance Armstrong has undergone hundreds of urine and blood tests throughout his cycling career. This time, he was in for a surprise - a hair sample test.

Armstrong and French anti-doping agency AFLD said on Wednesday that he was approached for a hair sample in an unannounced test on Tuesday in Beaulieu-sur-Mer in southern France, where he is training as part of his comeback for a crack at an eighth Tour de France title.

Armstrong said it was the 24th anti-doping test he's faced since he announced his return in September, and the first time he's ever been asked to provide a sample of hair.
