DOMAINES, FRANCE -- Lance Armstrong is brushing off as ``nonsense'' a reported claim by Greg LeMond that the seven-time Tour de France champion tried to pay someone $300,000 to say LeMond used a banned drug.

LeMond, a three-time Tour de France champion, told the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung's weekend issue that Armstrong tried to implicate him ``by all means'' in an EPO scandal.

LeMond refused to reveal the identity of the person who was allegedly offered money by Armstrong, saying he still works in cycling.

Armstrong dismissed the claim after completing Sunday's 14th stage of the Tour.
