Yep. It's a mea culpa that's purely meant to rehab his image. He's trying to appear humble.

I feared that.

He was an American hero at one point, now he just makes us all look like crap.

I admired him, I have to say. But I thought McGuire and Sosa were awesome too, until I found out better.

Betrayal is what it feels like. As I said above, like finding out Santa isn't real as a kid.

He betrayed his country, his teamates, and most importantly his other competitors, and the spirit of the sport itself.

A legend, shattered. Despite his confession he will live in shame forever.

Plus he confessed on Oprah. It's all okay now. Oprah Christ can forgive him and she'll get a boost in tv ratings.

Is it Fat Oprah or Skinny Oprah?

Is it an even or an odd week?

Wasn't she always a pig?

I ain't see it but...
Did the interview include a moment of silence for twinkies, then you know if you got Miss Piggy, or Puke-alot.

What is an Oprah, is that like an Orca?

I would like to see him apologize to the teammates he bullied and called liars.

In particular:
Many of his former teammates and friends, including Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis.
The wife of one of his teammates, Betsy Andreu.
Greg LeMond


There is a difference between a confession and an apology.

Agreed....a simple confession goes nowhere near far enough in my opinion.

If Lance Armstrong has been doping and winning bike races all this time, I wanna know where he was getting it. My dope just makes me sleepy and gives me cravings for junk food.

Seems he did the bare minimum.

Betsy Andreu is not impressed for one.
