Why??? I get why he would dope, but why admit it now? I'm sad. I really wanted to believe him.

Is there a link to his video interview with Opra?

[sara76]

It was yesterday but it airs Thursday at 9.

I wonder if we have the O network. We have cable now. but I don't think we are that special.

[sara76]

Hm I'm not sure, we have basic Fios and H has it set to record.

You can come over and watch it Sunday if you want, Sammy can play in Amelia's bouncer

He really just should have admitted it when his entire team informed on him. I'm guessing he was hoping to avoid prosecution, but the vehemence with which he denied the allegations annoy me more than the fact that he doped to begin with. I don't think the rules against doping are working in the sport of cycling (and probably not in most other sports either.) Methods of detection have not been able to keep up with advancements in performance enhancing drugs. Sadly, it seems that someone who doesn't dope has pretty much no chance of being competitive in a world where everyone else is.

I agree, cop. It is the vehemence with which he denied it that is the most aggravating. If you're going to go that far why not just go all the way? It seems like everyone is doing it within the sport but he went so much further with Livestrong and his other charities. I have to admit I'm on the edge of my seat to hear what he had to say to Oprah.

He is a scum bag. I saw a special that highlighted the lengths he went to cheat/dope. It was disgusting. And his denials were equally so.

Asshole. I hate cheaters. HATE them.

He can go eff himself like Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds.

I didn't watch the show but our pastor is doing a series on "what would jesus say to" and he is doing a different celebrity every week. Lance Armstrong was this week and it was interesting to hear the pastors thoughts on the situation. He also recapped the Oprah interview.
