I Kind Of Respect The Fact That Lance Armstrong Lied Right In Oprah’s Face
So just like everybody else I watched the Lance Armstrong interview last night. I’m not even sure why I did to be honest. I think it was just so I wouldn’t feel left out on twitter. Anyway after spending 45 minutes trying to find Oprah’s channel I finally managed to tune in. Now I don’t know what I was expected, but I don’t think I expected Lance to lie right in Oprah’s face like he did. I mean that part about how he didn’t bribe the UCI (Bike Governing/Drug Committee) to make a failed drug test go away is utterly preposterous. Umm yeah you did bro. Like why would Tyler Hamilton make that up? I mean everything everybody said about you was the truth except this? And for some reason you made a donation to the UCI for 125K at the exact time Tyler Hamilton claims you failed the test even though they were persecuting and you hated them? You were just like here let me give you $125k to help with drug testing research even though I’m the worst abuser on the bike riding tour? There is NO way in hell he didn’t bribe them and it couldn’t be more obvious. So for him just to sit there and lie right to Oprah’s face like that. Well that’s kind of awesome in a weird way. Made a mockery of the entire thing.
dude completely won that interview if that’s possible
i took when he said “they asked me to donate” as in…donate or this doesn’t go away.
read between the lines Igor
I hope this fucker gets testicle cancer. Oh, wait…
Guy is still lying, in the words of Jim Ross ” he’s got intestinal fortitude” even when he admitted to certain things like blood transfusions at hotels he barely could admit it, and just straight up lied about other accusations, guy is here to play
noonecares about Lance, noonecares about Oprah, noonecares about bike racing. total nonevent, move on.
cuncel da lance
Lol nobody gives a shit about this guy..everyone’s just looking for someone’s ball to bust.
Haven’t watched cycling since David and Marcus crushed it in the Hell of the West
when has any athlete ever come completely clean in these kind of interviews or press conferences? do you think Tiger told the whole story on him plowing whores and blowing yayo out of pornstar buttholes when he “apologized” to everyone? i dont even need to go into all the different MLB guys and their half-admittance of juicing. maybe canseco did but thats because he’s a fucking lunatic
Love the “I’ll answer any question, no holds barred” and then when the Big O asked him “like others have reported when you were first in the hospital with cancer and they asked you did you do PEDs prior to your cancer (meaning, is there a chance your drug use caused your cancer?) he said, “I won’t go there…that a private conversation I had…” The fallout to his foundation would be too much – “I cheated, made myself sick, fought it, beat it, was a hero and the fact is I knowingly did it to myself” would sink the fund raising even more.
When you say you watched like everybody else, do you mean you’re the only one who watched that shit?
Jesus, who gives a fuck? The guy rode a bike for a living. Its embarrassing enough.
Kudos Lance for finally have the ball to come clean.
5minutemajor – bingo. And on top of it he had the nerve to keep up his “If you question me then you are siding with CANCER” act all of these years. As I said on a previous blog, this guy has been a flaming asshole for years and I’m glad he’s finally being revealed as a fraud.
He should have studied David Ortiz’s style of lying.
Cali Stoolie, well played sir.
Yeah, who fucking cares? Oh, all the chumps he fleeced maybe? Suckahs.
who cares if he doped, every fucking bicycle faggot dopes. he was just plain better than them. same with barry bonds, everyone was sticking needles in their ass but he happened to hit the best. victims of their own success.

@buster hyman, Lance won the interview because he was on performance enhancers like E.P.O.
I’m not an Armstrong fan but what did you want him to do? Say yeah I bribed them and then get the guys who took his bribe in trouble?
what has happened to sports talk? guys who ride bikes and fake girlfriends of football players? where is the hot tub time machine when you need one
Hardwhite – first of all, not every baseball player was on
@Otwisted – Glad it was’nt lost on all.
Fucking shit barstool app.. should read “not every player was on roids, that argument is almost as dumb as “Barry still had to swing the bat and hit the ball!!”. Second, if Lance had used your logic and come clean instead of lying for 15 years, you’re right, nobody would care.”
Like everyone else? Who the fuck watched this interview? And who the fuck gives 2 shits?
Maybe the biggest kicker of the interview was him stating he stopped in 2004, which is convenient considering the statute of limitations would be in effect. Coincidence?
The playing field was never ‘level.’ Lance had the biggest doping budget, the best doping doctor, had the means to transport the drugs all over the globe in his own personal jet, they were getting caught and he wasn’t…. The other guys were playing checkers while he was playing chess and that’s not a ‘level playing field.”
Lance showed other shitty countries that no matter how gay the sport is. america can still beat you at it.
Manny, where you been all my life?!? Portnoy put out an APB on you.
Ha, took an extended leave of absence dealing with some stuff, but had to come back for your assplay updates. Did Davey really miss me? How sweet.
45 minutes to find Oprah’s channel – that’s pure gold (and so true)
he should have smashed that attention whore’s head in with a Schwinn
I don’t think I could possibly care any less about Lance, or Oprah.
