Lance Armstrong received an unexpected haircut Tuesday.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that a French anti-doping inspector armed with a pair of scissors took six clumps of Armstrong’s hair that will now be tested for signs of drug use. He was approached in an unannounced test in Beaulieu- sur-Mer in France.

“He didn’t make my hair look very good,” said Armstrong, who also gave blood and urine samples. “That’s why I cut it after that, after he butchered it.”

Testing of hair samples is allowed under French law but is not recognized by the World Anti-Doping Agency or cycling’s governing body, UCI.
