really?  a self-centered forced confession to preserve some bit of his ill-gained fortune lest he find himself (deservedly) out on the street and scratching around for a living as a result of being such a dispicable human being that screwed so many other honorable human beings?  Once again, shame on Oprah by making her money by being a tool of such subhuman lowlifes.  THese people are ALL disgusting and unworthy of the ink spilled on them.

This guy is a liar and a cheat, a total disgrace and should be shunned by the American public.

He DIDN'T dope. He told us...and told us...and told us. I don't really care what he has done post-cycling career....he can dope as much as he wants. BUT he told ALL of us , he didn't dope before and during the races. So who is this lying cheating FRAUD who is admitting to doping ?? It can't be that Lance Armstrong who swore under oath that he was drug-free. A television show "starring" two selfish self-promoters should be shunned. Guess what, Lance ?? We don't want to hear from you anymore !!!!

I can understand the pillorying of Lance Armstrong for his gross deceptions, cheating and arrogance, but the disparaging of Oprah Winfrey is puzzling. She is just a TV, visual reporter, no different than if a newspaper reporter/columnist armed with pen conducted an interview without cameras then wrote of the interview with quotes in any said paper of record. We read these stories quoting athletes everyday in the sports section. The newspaper reporter gets paid for his or her work so why question Oprah's earning a living at what she is by all accounts excellent? Disgraced celebrities have gone to or "used" the TV media to confess poor judgement choices and express mea culpas for decades. Hugh Grant on Jay Leno comes to mind and I'm sure many other examples can be referenced. Is Jay Leno to be condemned for his interview? In fact, Derek Sanderson was recently interviewed, excelIently, by Emily Rooney on "Greater Boston," about his life in and out of hockey. No laws broken but a fascinating life of great ups and downs of a great athlete. With this interview by Emily in mind I intend to get this biography on my Kindle. I've no stake in these people on either side of the microphone or pen but to read about them for my own interest, mine, no one else's interest. I will not be reading any future bio by Armstrong.

Armstrong reminds me of Pete Rose who hoped to rehabilitate his public image by confessing to betting on baseball. After years of denials, Rose finally came clean, but the public was in no mood to forgive him -- not because he gambled, but because he lied. People may forgive Armstrong for doping, but will likely never forgive him for lying about it. He'll keep most of his fortune, his reputation is unrecoverable.

PED's or not, the guy did come back from a terrible cancer and still competed.
