A year after the damning report by the USADA and being stripped of his Tour de France titles, Armstrong will finally speak publicly about his years of performance-enhancing drug use.
Lance Armstrong will be coming clean about the allegations that he used performance-enhancing drugs in an interview with Oprah Winfrey this coming week. The Huffington Post reports that the interview, which is scheduled to be recorded Monday and will air Thursday night, will be done at Armstrong’s home in Austin, TX.
Armstrong was stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles and banned from the sport for life after a 2012 report by the US Anti-Doping Agency detailed years of Armstrong’s involvement in a “sophisticated and brazen doping program,” that included the use of steroids, illegal blood transfusions and blood boosters.
This interview will be the first time Armstrong has spoken publicly about the accusations, the USADA report, or the loss of his titles other than to deny vehemently that there was any wrongdoing.

People like him lack that ability. He will go on television, lament about his regrets, maybe admit to his wrongdoings (though after all this time, really?) apologize (profusely) as it is more melodramatic that way and provides a way to… Read more »
I am interested in clarification on how Lance deceived himself? You mean because he really isn’t the fastest man to ever ride a road bike? You must mean that without these drugs which more than anything else they effect your mind into putting forth the energy the strength that is already there into motion? One question lies yet to ever be asked… With the same drugs he is accused of using do you think you might be in the place lance was? In other words is it the drugs he used or is it the fact it took these drugs… Read more »
