CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Lance Armstrong said he set a one-day record during his bike ride with President Bush - not for cycling but for lobbying.

During their two-hour ride on Bush's ranch Saturday, Armstrong pushed the president to spend more federal money on cancer research.

``I've never asked someone for so much money before,'' the seven-time Tour de France winner and cancer survivor told ABC's ``This Week'' for its Sunday broadcast.

Armstrong added that the Iraq war, which he opposes, never came up during their 17-mile ride.
