You mean the special interview identified Lance as "one of those" types. Damn I thought he was just taking drugs, he must have been a bit of a pain in the saddle.

No, she suckered him into a interview to get better ratings for her failing network. She does not care about Lance and his dirty little secret.

If by suckered you mean compensated with an enormous amount of money, then yes, he was suckered. Suckered all the way to the bank.

Jimbuna · 01-18-13, 11:32 AM

Well I seriously doubted he'd appear for nothing...poor sod must be down to his last couple of million by now

Smacks of the Very Brady Sequel where Jan (?) has the made-up boyfriend as a sub-plot.

I blame Marcia.

I wish someone would offer me $$$ to reveal my mistakes...I would even work harder at making some.

He is not hurting for money. I don't think Oprah compensates anyone for appearing on her show. If anything it is a free boost in a career path. She has made and destroyed new authors on her show. What this does is lead Armstrong on a new path for a new book on how it all happened. It is the start of an apology tour and book signing.

I would not believe O paid a dime for Armstrong to appear.

I didn't know. I figured that with his numerous cycling payouts, years of adervertising income and sucessful Livestrong brand he was living in a carboard box in an alley. Thanks for setting me straight.

I think she does. They all do. I've been looking on the web, and a lot of people are asking the same question. I think we'll find out eventually.

He has done well with the Livestrong brand. I believe he owns a few bike shops. What he has done in the bike world, before the coming out party, is much like winning the gold medal at the Olympics. You come home to offers of endorsements and a picture on the box of Wheaties.

Armstrong worth $125 million.

What is Oprah going to offer him other than a platform to dump his luggage?

You're welcome.

He won't be worth $125 million after he settles the lawsuits... From the looks of it he won't be worth a buck twenty five by the time they're done with him.
