Cyclist Mark Cavendish had an angry outburst today after being repeatedly asked his opinion about Lance Armstrong's 'doping confession' at an event in Ghent, Belgium.

Initially he addressed two questions posed, saying: "There's been reports that he's confessed to doping but I haven't seen any interviews yet, so until then I can't really comment".

When asked if he was going to watch Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey which will be broadcast later this week, he said: "I'm travelling to Argentina at the time".

Afterwards, Cavendish voiced his frustration to an official at the Omega Pharma Quick Step cycling team presentation, saying:

As he sat down for another round of interviews, he immediately snapped when a reporter appeared to begin asking him an Armstrong related question:

Cavendish was heard angrily saying: " off, seriously off if you're asking about this".

He then turned to someone and said:
