An anonymous source said I've got the biggest knob in the northern hemisphere, doesn't make it true.

Sparks43 · 15-01-2013 01:46AM

That took balls :pac:

Yakult · 15-01-2013 01:46AM

Jesus, he was even doping for the interview. He is hardcore.

admiralofthefleet · 15-01-2013 01:52AM

surprised he had the ball to do it

Max Power · 15-01-2013 01:54AM

Still a legend and an inspiration.

Does that mean he's a dope peddler ?

a liar and a cheat

Aquarius34 · 15-01-2013 02:09AM

Is there a video of it. I need a laugh. The more I hear of Oprah the more I find her just an Absolute slob that I can't bear to listen to anymore. Lance is probably getting paid a 6 digit sum with this interview. Why wouldn't he do it? Why is this news anyway?. God is this what the world coming these days. I can't ****ing stand this ****. I'd probably watch a minute in half of the interview. I just want to see how ridiculous its going to be.

The audience alone will probably go all teary eyed.. He's going on Oprah for what exactly? To reveal he was on steroids. I think I am going to stop at this point. What is going on. It's not like hes the first sports athlete that has done it.

Doc Ruby · 15-01-2013 02:13AM

Bleh, American twelve step self flagellation, everything's fine as long as you apologise for it. I much prefer hardcore Buddhism, you'll pay for it whether or not you apologised, karma is indeed a bitch.

Most athletes use steroids or performance enhancers of one sort or another these days anyway, but Armstrong rubs me wrong for some reason.

Pilotdude5 · 15-01-2013 02:15AM

I was a cyclist for years(then discovered engines)........I think he's a prick.

Chuck Stone · 15-01-2013 02:16AM

He sounds like a sociopath.

I hope he brings down everybody who was involved. There must have been some serious experts involved in the doping.

“And when Lance Armstrong ‘cries’ on Oprah later this week and she passes him the tissue, spare a thought for all those genuine people who walked away with no rewards - just shattered dreams,” she added. “Each one of them is worth a thousand Lances.

Nicole Cooke who won gold medal at the 2008 olympics who retired and released a staement today about drugs in her spor and that is a quote from her...and i couldnt agree more.

A legend in what sense? He didn't achieve anything. He had to take drugs to beat the others. I suppose he might be , in the same way Ben Johnson was the Olympic Champion for a bit.........

You know I wouldn't be f***king surprised at all, I wouldn't be surprised if she starts ****ing crying.....

I can't cope with this stupidity. I just can't.

I wouldn't be cycling today if it wasn't for his inspiration, and i'm sure there's thousands of others like me. It leaves me in an awkward position...I can't bear cheating, but at the same time I owe a lot to the Lance Armstrong myth.

he actually is, in a lot of ways.

I've been a massive detractor of him on boards.ie.

I find the way he talks about cancer disgusting and I find the man himself an asshole, but regardless of what drugs he did or didn't take, the man survived cancer and then kicked it's ass and he deserves props for that.

He didn't kick cancers ass, you can't.. Medicine cures you or it doesn't. Plenty of people every day get the all clear from a cancer they had. It doesn't make you a special person.

I don't understand why people who survive cancer get a bump up the pedestal rankings. Have your legs amputated and then go complete a marathon, that's something special. Surviving cancer and using performance enhancing drugs to make you a good cyclist, not so much.

Not an excuse at all. A simple observation, no interest in cycling but to think PEDs are not widespread in top level sport when so many have been caught and so many speak out about it is pretty naive.

Make Armstrong a scapegoat, sure, but lets not be idiots

I firmly believe PED's are no more wide spread in Cycling and Track & Field than any other international, multi-million euro professional sport.

And people like Angel Heredia agree with me.

So, eh, what was your problem with my original post then?

I said its widespread in more then just cycling, in my last post I actually used the phrase top level sport.

I was never just saying its rampant in cycling. Read my posts properly?
