I hope he gets sued to kingdom come and ends up broke. My guess tho is he will keep the megabucks that he deceived and threatened others to get.

Mean man who destroyed others´ lives, reputations & careers. Your 15 minutes were over years ago, Lance.

Ya think maybe his filling his veins with testosterone, HGH and godonlyknowswhatelse caused his cancer to begin with?? Only makes sense.

How much did the big O pay him for this interview ? In cash ?

Armstrong´s "Doctor" and doping coach Michele Ferrari thought it was possible that his early doping caused the cancer.

Read up on Greg Strock and Erich Kaiter, two teammates of Armstrong when they were Juniors.

I could care less about his drug use but I am completely outraged that he purposefully destroyed other people to advance his lies.

On the outside looking in, this admission seems to me to be financial suicide.

Oh that makes it okay to lie, everyone else was doing it. What a standup guy. Our society has fallen to the lowest being lauded and those with integrity ignored. We do have a sick society and sadly country.

The "Rosie Ruiz " of cycling

Oprah? Really? That´s worse than the doping.

He appears to be very bitter. He rides a bicycle for a living and the ride is over.
I guess his next career move is poltics.Lying is always forgiven , as long as he´s not a conservative.

...just go away Lance, confessing to Mother Oprah is not going to help. She can not absolve you of your sins...

...if his drug use caused the cancer, how ironic. I guess you call it payback...

Once a great role model for young people for his cycling but also for his fight against cancer.

Now here he is trying to set himself up to profit from his ´confession´. Sir, I hope you end up broke and have to count on Obamacare for your medical needs.

If only this would lead to a ban on bike helmets and spandex shorts,I´d be happy.

Please, get the hook.

I´m with #14...Spidey, you are absolutely right!!!

Ditto #14.

Maybe he can make some money selling LIVESWRONG bracelets. Yellow could still be the color.

Mr. Armstrong is a poster boy for what ails this country and that is situational ethics. Honor and integrity have lost their meaning for so many people who attempt to justify anything they do as a means to an end. This is what happens when right and wrong have no meaning. You have no moral compass. I applaud him for finally telling the truth but I hope he isn´t hailed as a hero for it.

There you go. There´s the difference between a normal person,i.e., one who knows the difference between evil and good, and a sociopath who knows the difference between getting caught and not getting caught.

While I´m NOT A FAN of Cheryl Crow, I remember thinking he was a jerk back when they were dating and he basically dumped her in the middle of her fight with breast cancer. He´s a complete meglomaniac...after he hit it big, he dumped his wife and daughters and began sleeping with anyone in Hollywood that would have him...if memory serves, he even dated one of those creepy looking Olsen twins.

There are a few who say "everyone was doing it" as though that made doping okay. I wonder what they thought of the GDR Olympic winners whose doping was assumed, even if never confessed.

Surely the more general public reaction is similar to the response here, and not what Armstrong hoped for. Maybe he will just shut up and go away.

And I can´t see how Oprah enhanced her brand by being part of this.

I think the "story" here is the pathetic low that oprah has gone to to promote her failing television station...

Perhaps al/jerra (sp?) will want to buy it oprah....make a call to shraka/gore.

What´s the matter -- honey -- your black roots showing???

LZK

Now I can´t even enjoy his one cameo scene in Dodgeball...

Worst thing Armstrong has done?
Putting Oprah back in the spotlight.

Yikes. He must be a Democrat.

I am gut full of both Oprah and Lance. I don´t care. Go away.

Lance sounds like a world-class arsehat. Maybe he should consider running for office on the D-ticket.

Putting Oprah back in the spotlight is the WORST Armstrong has done? My, someone needs an ethics lesson, I think.

Actually I think the motivation was "I had cancer, I needed a boost, an edge to make up for it, so I was justified in doping up."

Lance, give it a rest, stop digging the hole you are in...just go away...and please move OUT of Texas to another state where losers live, like Californication or New Jerk!

Lance was doping LONG before he had cancer.

He´s still lying.

Yep, everyone was doing it. And so is everyone in professional sports. As Rush says, the people demand from these athletes things they can´t do without drugs.

Armstrong has been stripped of his victories. I demand to know that #2, who will now be #1, wasn´t drugging as well. And then when it´s shown he was, I demand to know that #3 wasn´t and so on and so on and so on.

It´s time to get real about performance enhancing drug use and realize that sports fans are pushers whether they realize it or not.

Remember when the "everybody does it" defense became acceptable to the media/left? 1998 - everybody lies about sex. Thanks once again, Bubba.

Oprah has invested him with clintonism--he ain´t never going away. When he´s 95, he´ll still be yammering on about how right he was.

OK. Yeah. Thanks, Lance. Now go away. Far, far away. And take your stinkin´ Spandex shorts with you.

One Quick Note -

The USADA - US Anti-Doping Administration is not a US agency of the lawful government of the United States.

It is an NGO - a non-governmental agency.

For those of you in Rio Linda, an NGO is a child of the UNITED NATIONS.

As States in America are the Grantors of the right to create a corporation, it´s the United Nations which grants the right to create an NGO.

Now, if you believe a United Nation´s chartered NGO is unbiased, plays fair and is not anti-American to its very roots, step up, I have land to sell you ....

Well I for one am glad to see that my gut feeling that Armstrong was an arrogant creep from the get-go has been validated.

Those other people who Armstrong destroyed could have said NO a long time ago. As despicable as Armstrong is he should realize that no matter what he says or does FOREVER, no apology will ever be accepted.

#40 - Don´t you understand that the people who said "No" were the ones destroyed?

Lance is preparing himself to run for political office. In particular as a dem. For he is a poster boy for lying, cheating. This will greatly enhance his resume´ to run for, say, Senator, Representative and maybe even Mayor of NYC. Or maybe...President of the USA.

Thanks for your concern, #29.

Oprah´s history of damage outstrips Armstrong´s, IMO.

Maybe Armstrong and Bill Clinton can get together for "A Liar and Liar Bolder & Fresher Tour" to rival O´Reilly´s & Miller´s road shows?

#44, why not add several hundred politicians and bureaucRATS in washington, d. c., to the lance and slick willy gang?

Lest we forget, Lance Armstrong once displayed the finest act of sportsmanship I have ever witnessed when he stopped in the 2001 Tour for Jan Ullrich who had crashed in to a ditch, and waited until Ullrich got back on the course before resuming racing. Ullrich and all the other top competitors were doping, just as was Armstrong. Unless you have competed at the very top of an elite international sport, you have no damn idea what you´re talking about regarding doping. ALL top rated elite cyclists dope, which means that Lance was competing on an EQUAL footing with his competitors in each of his 7 Tours de France. He still kicked their asses 7 times in a row. Lance Armstrong is a once-in-a-lifetime superior athlete who is the greatest cyclist of all time - period. All you naysayers can go pound sand.

#24 - Funny and agreed, but still not as bad as surfing across one of the ´Naked Gun´ collection and then orenthal appearing on the screen.

#46 - Armstrong´s gesture was not his own, it is common in cycling. Look at the furor over Contador not stopping for Andy Schleck in 2010. This type of sportsmanship happens not only in European races, but at local US races, too.

It is not about the doping; and you´re wrong about everybody doing it. It is about the destruction of people who dared question the myth, the destruction of a sport for his own gain, and the cynical use of a disease, and those afflicted with the disease, to enrich himself.

#46: Who cares if he was a great athlete if as a human being he is all things despicble: liar, cheat, hypocrite, bully, narcissist, selfish, arrogant, delusional ...?

The "everyone does it defense doesn´t wash" mantra is for those who ignore the realities of certain elite level sports. I don´t condone the use of performance enhancers, but I am realistic enough to understand that so long as they exist, the top athletes will use them. As such, they are truly competing on equal footing, and only the very exceptional athletes will rise consistently to the top. It may not appeal to one´s sense of sportsmanship, but it is the way it is and all the top guys know it. All the athletes who use performance enhancers to the max but still complain are hypocrites and losers. The only sure way to stop the use of performance enhancers in sports is to eliminate the sports in which they are commonly used.

#51 - PEDs affect riders differently. It does not make them all equal and it most certainly does not create an equal playing field.

Additionally, all riders cannot afford the same doping programs. Armstrong personally spent over $1 Million with Ferrari. Armstrong had access to private jets to get past Customs, more money, and the governing body, UCI, in his back pocket.

It is a tired canard and flat-out wrong that it makes a level playing field.

The whole thing is a huge, evil, sick joke on the competitive sporting world. Lance Armstrong was a fantastic hero. The French were extra-sensitive nationalistic cry babies. How in thw world could this level of "doping" have gone on, under the intense scrutiny of every French detective , spy and racing official for all those years and never get noticed- it took an insider snitch to expose it? Then it turns out every one was doing it and hundreds of people were involved in it? My smell-o-meter is off the charts on the whole thing.

I am guessing that at least 50% of the riders cheat(ed) anyway. But, then again, I don´t really care. What athletes do and people who live and breathe what they do are the least of my concerns.

Hmmmm....is he trying for a juicy cabinet position?

When I saw the so-called ´dope´ he was taking, the blood transfusions and EPO shots, I was surprised. That is the same thing my 77 year old husband was taking for his bone marrow failure cancer. Didn´t Armstrong have cancer? Perhaps there is more to this than we know. My husband wouldn´t have thought his treatment would have been considered "doping".
Lots of us here know little about this whole bussiness, but, bash away in ignorance,like always!

#56 you are comparing Armstrong´s story to your Husband´s and accusing posters of ´bashing´. Obama tactics. Armstrong did his ceremonial appearance on the Oprah couch and admitted to being a doper, a liar and a cheat. If he had health issues driving his doping he has had every chance to say so. There is a right and wrong and sometimes, if rarely, wrong loses.

One liar speaking to another liar.
