Oh well, he could always go to work in the next Clinton administration. He´d fit right in.

If you would have told me 35 years ago that something like this could be a big story I would have laughed myself into a straight jacket.

Please Oprah, invite Barack on and get him to confess he´s a Marxist. No eye will be dry as he proclaims his faith in the Worker´s Revolution and Socialist Internationale.

I´m up to here with both of them.

Two pathetic publicity hounds discussing a pathetic problem. Agreed, #2.

It would be much more interesting if Lance´s ex-girlfriend, Sheryl Crow, would admit to using more than two squares of toilet paper to, well, you know.

willy shakespier said it nicely, much ado about nothing

I´m sure everyone else was doping too so that put them all on the same playing field. To me, he still won.

I just can´t stand either of these people. However, I would be interested to know how oprah turns this conversation to talk about herself. She always does and if someone could tell me how she takes a story about a white male drug abuser, bike race winner, to be all about her, I´d like to know. Not enough to watch it though.

#6 thanks for the bellylaugh to start my day. It must be so comforting for ´one-sheet Sheryl´ as she is known in our house, to know that all across America, we think of her when we, well, you know....

It´s not "much ado about nothing" if you consider the money the postal service paid over the years to sponsor this cheating team, which was contractually prohibited from using unapproved substances. Floyd Landis´s whistleblower suit may be joined by the US Justice Department. The deadline is Thursday, when Oprah airs. The whistleblower suit is aimed at clawing back that sponsorship money, plus at least one British paper is suing for the return of their libel settlement with Armstrong. Turns out he wasn´t libeled after all.

He was quite the vicious liar, wasn´t he? Hope those who´ve been wronged by him can get back a little. I´m still disappointed though that Oprah is back to doing interviews.

1) Why does anyone care?
2) Why is he doing the confessional thing when he could leave the US, renounce citizenship and move to comfortable places which either do not have or don´t enforce extradition with the US, such as the Philippines, Croatia (may be too close to France), Cape Verde (ditto) or Argentina? He also would not be bothered in Bhutan.

"All this pain just to ride a bike."

That is freakin´ flat out comedy gold! LOL!

I never bought into the WWLD bracelet. I have another set of heroes that re not involved in any of this stuff.

Just shut-up, Lance. Way too much information, OK?

I had no dog in this fight, but those who defended Armstrong and attacked his critics on this site for so long were wrong.They should acknowledge that.

I really hoped that Lance was going to tell Oprah that he had never used anything illegal, and that he just got tired of fighting.

But now that he has ´´confessed´´ -- complete with mandatory tears -- to Oprah, I´m sure NØbama will find a space for him in his 2nd term. Being a liar, cheat, and skumbag are pretty much requirements to serving in the NØbama administration after all...

Somehow, my ´Give a Hoot in Hades´ meter isn´t budging.

Seriously, folks. Enough of this already. Can we get back to talking about the Kardashians? I hear one of them had corn flakes for breakfast this morning.

I had never bought into this whole Lance Armstrong thing either, he made it much too troublesome to ride a Bicycle with all the thousands of dollars just to buy a bicycle and then all the clothing etc, etc, etc.. I could never understand how anyone could be comfortable with such a small saddle to rest ones rear on.

Oh no! Oh no! I´ll never watch the Tour de France again!

Wait...I never watched it in the first place. Never mind.

Extremely hard to believe there´s STILL gullible people here attempting to whitewash it by saying he is still the winner because "everyone else was doing it", just forget about his bold face lying. Incredible!

We call her Share-a-roll Crow. I probably got that name from an L-dotter.

Oprah is so 15 minutes ago, and so is Lance Armstrong.

Maybe Oprah can organize a mass righteousness confessional rally. Pro athletes in baseball, football and tennis, Olympians, etc could all fess up that they, too, take performance-enhancing drugs. Nancy P, Hilary, Boehner could admit to Bo-tox binging, models and movie stars admit to plastic surgeries to appear younger and more bee-yootiful, Obama , bubba Clinton to serial lying. Hey, so many possibilities, so little time......

I can´t even find Oprah´s channel...

I disagree that this does not matter. It does.

This guy dishonored not only himself, but American sportsmanship. He´s a liar and a cheat. All those awards and flag waving. Brought to you by a drug user.

I am SO sick of people and their drugs, recreational, in sports, otherwise. Weak minded and cowardly. Kids looked up to this jerk and his raw determination, now to find out it was just because he was stoked up on drugs.

He didn´t have the guts or the courage to put it out there with his own body like many others didn´t. He cheated those other people out of awards and honors and accomplishments, and he blemished America in the process.

That´s not important? I think its damned important. Good lesson for our kids too.

Lance Armstrong,criminals and all wrongdoers seem to confess their wrongs(after denying same vehemently until they´re caught Red Handed)saying: "I´ve made some poor/bad choices and I´m sorry for them." Then they are forgiven and bygones are bygones, so to speak?

What #28 said...some still contend that the drugs he took were an integral part of cancer treatment, even in the face of Armstrong´s own admissions...guess DSK was set up too....

This man is confessing as the prelude to being a whistleblower. It´s all to buffer the punishment he so rightly deserves but is too much a coward to accept. Feel sorry for his children who now have to grow up with this shadow of shame. What a hero! /s

Lance and Oprah: two desperate, pompous people using each other to hang on to relevance.

So now he wants forgiveness after he´s made millions. Hey Lance, want forgiveness? Give all your money to charity.

The whole world.....one BIG fat lie. With TV leading the parade. Any other media format closely behind. So basically, just turn it all off, tune it all out and believe in yourself. But test this first by looking in the mirror.

As for the magnitude of the lie, I suggest we use the Al Gore Global warming as a benchmark.

Perhaps the biggest sporting fraud ever.

His net worth is/was over $125 Million. If the whistle blower/Qui Tam case goes forward, he could be on the hook for almost $100 Million.

Enquiring minds wanna know…

How many Obamabucks crossed the hand of Lance to make Oprah relevant, one more time?

#21 - maybe that´s why they always have their buttskies up in the air - they can´t really sit on that thing - always looked dreadfully uncomfortable to me, slightly masochistic even

This Lance Armstrong case makes me think of Tiger Woods, too and how it is so ridiculous to put so much stock in these people who do not deserve it - I remember hearing it on the radio on the way over to my Mom´s about Tiger´s car accident - wanting to break it to Mom before she turned on the news because I knew how upset she would be - we were so worried!

This small man destroyed other peoples lives, reputations & careers. Go away, mr. Armstrong.

#27 gets it. Laissez Bon Temps Roule!

His family must be sooooo proud.....

Ok. I´ll try this once more.
to wit: I tried real hard not to care about this but now that Oprah is involved I feel I just have to. /sarcasm.

This con artist got caught yet he still has no shame, no remorse over his lies & betrayals of trust, -only regret at FINALLY getting caught. Sadly, he remains a candidate for repeating simular, ´performances,´ and so will likely continue recycling his imaginative deceits. ...With those, ´credentials,´ perhaps he will become just another dem party candidate? 0prah sure know how to pick ´em, eh?!! s/

I´m never, EVER going to shake hands with Sheryl Crow again. No thank you.

Thanks #6.

It just breaks my heart that LA grew up in Plano, settled in Austin, and flew across the finish line with the TX flag in tow. There´s a message in there somewhere.

Why is Lance doing this via Oprah? It trivializes the whole thing and turns it into a marketing exercise. He should simply issue a statement and an apology. Oprah is exploiting this
