It seems Lance Armstrong isn't interested in trying to cha-cha his way back into anyone's good graces.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the cyclist turned down an opportunity to compete on an upcoming season of "Dancing With the Stars."

ABC, the home of the competitive dancing reality show, reportedly reached out to Armstrong before he confessed to using performance-enhancing substances in a highly publicized two-part interview with Oprah Winfrey, and it seems that wasn't the first time.

A rep for Armstrong told EW that "Lance has been offered the show each and every year since its inception. Although flattered, he has passed on their generous offers."
