Oprah And Lance Armstrong

[Caribeing]

Noticed this interview was on Discovery tonight at 8pm for hour and half part one who wants to watch someone trying to wriggle their way out of cheating!
Surprised it was on Discovery as Oprah has her own TV Channel. I will be watching second part Silent Witness even though it is complex!

There was an extract on the news just now. I'm not bothered to watch it - old news now.

I guess not everyone has access to Oprah's channel (I don't) and they want to give it coverage.

[Prudie]

I think it's just a huge publicity stunt anyway - doing it on Oprah I mean.

I'd quite like to hear what he's got to say for himself, don't have Discovery though, so that's out.
Having said that, I'm not sure I'd be watching all of it.

He didn't try to wriggle out of anything. He confessed all.

[FredPuli43]

He thought, still thinks, that the word 'cheat' did not apply to him, since 'cheat' means to gain an advantage over someone by what you do and , for him, doping was like putting air in the tyres or having water in the water bottle. By his logic, he obtained 'a level playing field' (as he put it). That's a somewhat restricted confession! Lots of others were doing it, it was as regular as inflating tyres , so he did it.

He might have explained why he didn't seek to stop the others cheating and report what he knew. No, he sued the Sunday Times for suggesting that he cheated, made great efforts to ensure that his cheating continued unreported, and , by inference, that the widespread, 'like air in the tyres' cheating continued too.

He was interviewed by the wrong person.

John Humphreys would have given him a much harder ride !

Armstrong is not a failed athlete...he is a liar and a cheat, simple as that.
