Shuggie_Murray7 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 So Oprah has the exclusive interview. I'm guessing it'll be "Yes I did it but I was forced to do it" etc etc etc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_S_A_R Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Lance ready to testify Great news if this is true. Lance has always been a risk taker and it would be like him to do something extreme in an attempt to turn the situation to his advantage or even just to get some revenge/satisfaction. As i said earlier in the thread nailing the uci and nike as collaborators would be far more significant than exposing athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see it's being covered by Discovery, part of the tie up? that was my reaction to the news that he might turn on hein, pat and the money men? i do think that oprah was hinting at him coming out aggresively and owning up to a fair bit though. wiggins has reacted to this by saying "we might as well write off the 90s". another pathetic attempt at deflection from bradley. it not even 12 months ago that he was proudly taking advice from lance. "I don't know if I'm a favourite [for the Tour] but I'm one of maybe five riders who can do something there [overall] this summer. I said Paris-Nice was a stepping stone, no disrespect for Paris-Nice. But I must continue that progression to July now. Lance Armstrong warned me recently not to burn too many matches for July. It's certainly a long trail." paris nice 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsforlife Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I see he's been asked to send his 2000 time trial bronze back to the IOC, I hope he doesn't. I want to see a televised raid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I feel Lance Armstrong isn't getting the grilling he completely deserves on this. I'm away to my kip though, so I'll watch the rest tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeko Green Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Notice he avoided talking about the lies he made under oath. Its all very well saying sorry to all these people he ruined now that he has been caught but its pretty clear there would've been no apologies had he not been outed.

Desert Nomad Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Well he admitted it, but I'd question he's actually sorry at all, he's sorry he got caught. As expected Oprah let him get away with evading the questions for the main part, I didn't expect anything else to be honest. Will be interesting to see the reaction from the cycling press, Walsh and Kimmage in particular. Greg Lemond not entirely impressed: http://m.cyclingnews.com/news/lemond-not-satisfied-with-armstrongs-admission Edit: zero remorse, Simeoni and Bassons are two others I'd love to hear from, guys he publicly embarrassed at the time.

Slacker Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yep, sorry to have gotten caught but he showed no remorse for his actions. Tried to justify them by saying he was levelling the playing field - the guy's a w**k. Oprah should've grilled him more about the possibility of going to jail after showing the clip of him lying in court in 2005. Missed opportunity.

lichtie23 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just got bits of the interview but he doesn't look to be showing any remorse. The line about he did it to "level the playing field" just shows he is scum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reynard Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 If they had any evidence on him, they would have produced it years ago. Do we have evidence that he is actually a cheat? Or is it guilty till presumed innocent? Also, what authority do the yanks have to strip him of his titles? I got a gold swimming certificate when I was in primary school, but was taking an inhaler. Could the USADA strip me of my certificate too? Think he just admitted it to the world there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
