COLMAR, France (July 17, 2009)—Texan Lance Armstrong is fed up with criticism of his Astana team by the French sports minister, Roselyne Bachelot, who has said Astana riders at the Tour de France remained out of sight of an International Cycling Union inspector for too long during a random doping test last week.

Friday, Armstrong erupted, declaring that "Enough is enough."

He said Team Astana has "been controlled more than anybody else on the race."

Armstrong's said he's been tested more than 30 times since he returned from a three-year retirement to competition this season.

He accused the French government minister of being "slightly political."

Before the race started on July 4 in Monaco, the minister had warned Armstrong that he would be "particularly monitored" for doping during the Tour.

Armstrong, 37, said he was always available for doping controls.
