Joe Biden had never been diagnosed with prostate cancer before last week and previously had a blood test for the disease 11 years ago, a spokesperson for the former US president said Tuesday.

The statement came after Biden’s successor, President Donald Trump, fueled claims of a cover-up by saying that he was “surprised” the public was not told about the cancer earlier.

Biden’s office announced on Sunday that the 82-yearold had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, a few days after a nodule was found on the gland.

“President Biden’s last known PSA was in 2014,” a Biden spokesperson said in a statement to AFP.
