I don't believe that would have happened.
Can't wait to see those ubiquitous body language experts tomorrow (and part 2 of the interview).
Wonder if he'll try the religious awakening route for forgiveness & redemption. I mean, the guy still wants to make $$$$$.
Remember that line from-something- "the MOST celebrated are the rehabilitated".

OK, yeah, Lance Armstrong's a lying piece of sh*t -- got it. I'm finding the amount of time and outrage being spilled over this to be a bit much. When Oprah does an interview with Bush Cheney and Rove and asks them the hard questions about WMD and the invasion of Iraq and torture, let me know.
"It's called assholes live but your best friends die."
THIS. Might be the truest thing I've ever read on this site. I want it on a sampler.
I'll borrow from what Mark Harris tweeted last night: I would have just preferred if Oprah dropped the journalistic protocol and slapped him. I'd have given her an Emmy for that.
I always wanted to hear the first wife's story. SI has a good interview with the wife of a teammate that gets into how he tried to destroy and defame people who tried to expose the mythology:

Oprah would know all about PEDs--that must be what they spray over her studio audience so that they go ballistic every time she opens her mouth.
Speaking of that-if it hasn't been done already[don't know how to check]-I think I will start a thread about reactions of studio audiences at reality and talk shows.
I wish Judge Judy wouldv'e done this interview. TheN I could hear over and over again: "UM IS NOT AN ANSWER!!!!!"
"LOOK HERE, NOT THERE!!!!?
When he left his first wife, I knew something was up with him. Then he beats cancer and wins the Tour de France? That sealed it for me. But America ate it up, for the most part.
He is obviously arrogant and from what I watched of the interview, he really shows no remorse. I think that he thinks he will get off easier after this interview. He has riuned lives. He deserves whatever he gets and I am talking lawsuits, jail time, whatever. JMO
A public library in Sydney has reclassified Armstrong's autobiography as fiction. Sounds right.
