what got me here was Bill Burr interview with Conan, so damn funny lol

As Bill Burr put it on Conan: "Our roided up guy, beat your roided up guy!"

He bullied, sued and tried to destroy people who told the truth about him, and he needs now to name all the people who helped him cheat, and together denied a fair chance and career to honest cyclists

Oprah:: Did you use your legs to ride the bicycle?? Armstrong:: Yes

Its about doing whatever it takes. Probably 90% of the guys are on the gear. Drug tests are a joke

very true, and its also a pity for those athletes who stayed in the shade because of his doping

Typical American sports "star". Cheats.

lance had a lot of ball to go on oprah.

That 'scary' interchange is oddly slick, feeling almost rehearsed. Can we assume he had advanced knowledge of the questions?

There was an article in bicycling magazine that attempted to identify the real "non-doping" winner of Lance's victories. They had to go down to 10th place in most of the races since the top 9 or so were also convicted of doping. So, he was the best - the best cycler and best doper.

the people that give him airtime are just as bad as he is.

The part that gets me the most is how he attacked all the people who were telling the truth about him

I wish he would have talked a little more about how EVERYONE does it. A lot of people don't understand that and start to blame him too much

currently watching lance Armstrong episode of Arthur right now lol

Never liked this guy but I have to give him respect for coming forward even if he got caught and kind of had to because a lot of people would just rat out completely and at least he finally faced the music And only he knows what it feels like to be him and to have done what he did. Anyway I respect anyone that is a human being because it is damn hard and we all make mistakes including some pretty seemingly big ones sometimes. In the end, your integrity is based on what you take responsibility for and sometimes that takes a while and for some it never comes.

Is the full interview out there anywhere?

Athletes like Lance achieve amazing physical and mental feats and become an inspiration to many. It's human nature to find heroes and role-models. When it is discovered that these "heroes" are, in fact, deceitful, it makes big waves, of course. Is it really that hard to grasp?

Now his cameo at the end of "Dodgeball" is POINTLESS. Lmao...

Still waiting for Usain Bolt's confession. Come on man, it's due...

I guess people expected him to break down and beg for forgiveness, but c'mon, that was never going to happen. I don't know how the man could deal with the situation if he didn't emotionally distance himself from it all.

i was i cyclist sprinter and i know that if you want to win in this sport you MUST take a ilegal drugs...that is a sore truth...ALL OF THEM USE IT..Dont blame like that Armstrong

The sad thing is I have talked to former professional athletes, and as an athlete myself I look at some of these feats..and with the history of doping and the inability to create or unwillingness to create a competent system has led me to the same belief. I think we should regulate it instead of banning it its no different than when we tried to ban alchohol and would be no different than trying to ban firearms in my opinion.

He says it didn't feel wrong and you follow up with "did you feel bad about it?", why the hell would he? He just told you, he didn't feel wrong doing it.. but you expect him to feel bad about something he didn't consider wrong.

He just the best cyclist with a better knowledge and better tech , regardless it's equipment or it's a body enhancer ..... for me if you want to compete, then compete with whatever you had including money and effort

He has the heaviest ball ever to have admitted this in public 😂😂

This guy was diagnosed with testicular cancer, and started a charity for it. People looked up to him as a hero, and the Tour de France is a big thing for cycling, similar to the Stanley Cup Finals or the World Series for them.

Shame on this man... he dirtied everything that cyclists stand for... i hope we never see this in cycling again....

3:09 Well I believe everything he said in this one video... I can tell you that much! He actually put himself down pretty hard, and sounded quite honest albeit with rather shrewd sincerity as to see if going in the complete opposite direction would bring him some sympathizers. Before that interview, though, I never believed a word that came out of his mouth tbh.

"Did he really tell the truth?" Which question do they want to know if he told the truth? He confessed and a arrogant bully's way of contrition is not likely going to be tears and showing emotional signs of contrition. I am not favoring him. I am analyzing the tape impartially.

I think him seeing the south park episode was the turning point

is that the whole video 3 min? where can i find the whole interview? thanks

I personally think that it's not that he's not being genuine, but that he's scared and embarrassed. Probably more sorry that he's got caught though. But I do believe the smiles and laughter are more about nerves.

They can take his titles away but they can't take his moon landing away lol

Don't hate him... Learn from him.

Well, thank you for the footage

Now, it's time for Barry Bonds and David Ortiz to come clean.

Congrats, Lance! You. Ruined. EVERYTHING!

You realize you'd have to give each Tour De France title to the 20-23rd place person because everyone in the 1-20th place duped. This continues forever.

I'm in shock by the support for a cheater

Are you kidding me? People go to jail for selling a bit of marijuana. He, on the other hand, lied, cheated, perjured himself in a Federal Court, for over TEN years, as he made millions and millions of dollars (over 30 million dollars of American tax money from the Postal Service alone), he destroyed clean cyclists' careers who dared to tell the truth, he bribed officials and doctors, and now he'll be throwing his colleagues under the bus. What, do you want to give him another trophy? Unreal.

We should avoid US sportsmen to participate in cycle in Europe anymore

If everyone's doing it, isn't it kind of like no one's doing it? That's what I don't get. He doped and finished first....over 20 other people who also doped. And those 20 other people didn't overcome cancer to do it. Give him his damn titles back.

At least he didn't call her fat

All this Lance Armstrong shaming is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. You take the top 30 cyclists that participate in the Tour De France, and I guarantee that 99% of them have used performance enhancing drugs. He just has the balls to admit it. In world class competition amongst ALMOST all sports, it's getting to the point where it's required to take these drugs to have a chance. Educate yourselves people, he's doing no different than other top level athletes. I believe Mr. Armstrong is a good man and stands for a good cause. He decided to come out and tell the truth about it (which he didn't have to do, just shows you how good of a person he is.) Before you start getting pissed off and boohooing about a subject you're completely ignorant about, do some research. I can't believe such a caring person that has done a lot of good for people, is being BULLIED by a bunch of idiots and over something SO miniscule. You think him poking something in ass once a week trumps all his charity foundations? Think again.

Next thing you know, they're gonna catch Usain Bolt for doping.

9 out of the 10 were all on the drugs, how come he still came out first for 7 years and probably forever? because he still trains and he was built for cycling. the drugs just gave him the upper hand but knowing that 9 out of 10 used drugs and they couldn't take away that title shows that he was the real winner. peformence enchaning drugs shouldn't be illgeal. sometimes, it's needed. sure there are serious side efrects but why is it still being sold? lance is a legend.

What I have done charity is completely irrelevant. I’m not the one living a millionaire lifestyle on the pretences that I survived cancer and continued on to be a super successful athlete (because of taking performance enhancing drugs). Please don’t be ignorant, the end doesn’t justify the means.

There’s something that’s changed about Oprah. She’s not the same

Great guy? He has shown that his CHARACTER is horrendous. Not only did he repeatedly lie, but he sued the people who were telling the TRUTH about him. He was doggedly and consistently lied, and then lied again. We are all flawed, but "Great guy"? Not so much!

A motor on the bike I believe he did also

This just shows, that normal people have no idea about professional sports... This interview doesn't help the cycling sport it just feeds to the audience what they want to hear.

he does not really seem like he is remorseful about what he did, however at least he came clean.

Because he sued people who said he was doping.

do you know how much money he donated?

I know he didn't have much choice but he is a human being and made a terrible series of mistakes but at least he came clean.

respect him for the honesty, but I can't see myself being his fan anymore.

If 'Performance enhancing drugs' were legal and only people who wanted to 'Enhance' their physical performance took it. It would just make for something more interesting to watch for all the fans of the sport. If every athlete took it, then nobody would be cheating.

That's fucking disgusting. Cheating, winning all the glory and fame, and lying about it.

Wow, so many people are surprised by this. He came back from cancer to win 7 times, what did people honestly expect? FYI... In the big leagues, everyone does it. Just not many people get caught.

Either way, this guy still raised millions and millions for charity, and saved hundreds or thousands of lives, so he's still a hero to be honest.

He still raised hundred of millions of dollars for cancer, and if that doesn't count for something, in a sport where frankly doping is so pervasive... maybe there is something wrong with you?

He's tarnished the reputation of cycling forever. He destroyed the careers of anyone who tried to tell the truth. A lifetime ban is not enough.

whats the name of the ep

I mean it’s obvious why he did it. It got him to a sit down 🪑 chat with Oprah. Got him money, fame and women. He never would’ve had ANY of the social opportunities and income that he had if he didn’t. It’s a sad thing but it’s the definition of being a sell out.

hgh and erythropoietin are not controlled substances. therefore he is not in jail. good luck with your boyfriend. the guy sounds like a class act.

It's not just cycling. A huge number of people watch, compete, and draw inspiration from endurance sports. In an Ironman triathlon, for example, athletes start off by swimming 2.4 miles, then immediately cycle for 112 miles, then immediately run 26.2 miles. Some of these athletes are in their 80's. Just saying, it's about more than just riding a bicycle.

maybe because protein isn't a banned/illegal drug?

You can't believe anything he says from now on

What about trying to destroy the lives of people who knew the truth and basically stealing millions of dollars in lawsuits from papers who reported the truth? No other rider did that to that extent.

That is so stupid. And I bet its coming from a guy who sits all day in front of a computer doing nothing. Do you know the meaning of hard work? This guy disrespected all the ones who actually worked to win those tours, taking no drugs.

The people who lives he ruined will sue him blind

thanks for repeating someone else's joke for the nth time..

Lance Armstrom, now that you have confessed about your fake career, do you expect forgiveness??. This is question of moral standards, no doubt Lance has no idea about Integrity, ethic, morality, honesty.

He's a winner that (NEVER) should have done that interview. Everyone was doping.

He turns out to be a - 'self-centered, spoiled brat.' ..... Hero to those with that same type of twisted personalities.

Urgh, I totally agree. The only part that I dislike about Armstrong is that he lied for so long and so defiantly. However, EVERYONE in the sport does it.

I honestly think almost all professional cyclists use this shit.

I was thinking the same then I read an article which said practically everyone was doping (even the second). The honest ones would give up because they could never compete. Which brings up the question - was there someone honest who could have won as many competitions but gave up because of this doper.

I dont belive that in these years has something changed Riders are doing everything to win only one difference was that Lance must win they want win

Can anybody tell me why any of this matters?

Hahahahahaha, and did you go dopped?! Are you Armstrong´s family?!:-)))

Who cares? He raised gazillions for cancer and is still a great athlete

From what I understand, EVERYONE was doping. The only reason people are focusing on Lance, is because he won... Not saying it's right, but I think people need to take it down a notch.

At least him confessing he's not a psychopath in my eyes, like Elisabeth Holmes who would never do that. He's just a cheater who felt entitled .

no why do you ask?

I would much rather do my best and fail, rather than cheat and win. Lance is a perfect example of what happens when a competitor puts to much value into winning.

Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in 1969, Lance Armstrong never did

everyone in sports is on drugs, how did he cheat? And you will never get ANYWHERE in any sport without taking drugs

They didn't allow PEDs for astronauts?

well at least he confess that he is using drugs than found out that he was using drugs

I think he is tremendous ***good on you mate***

Looks to me like he's lying, but maybe I've watched too many episodes of Mentalist. The way he blinks his eyes when he says "yes" just seems unbelievable.

are you serious? that is your response? basically you are saying "everyone is a piece of shit so its ok to be a piece of shit" good on ya mate you're gona go far

Has he returned his winnings? He should offer a full refund for people with his book also.

Are you taking bath salts? Where did you get them?

lol. Why are people so shocked?

The funny thing is in sport at that level, the clean athlete is the exception and not the rule. Lance was just playing the same game as all of the other guys out there.

THE MAFIA WAS RIGHT - "BEHIND EVERY FORTUNE LIES A BIG CRIME."

He couldn't settle with 3 awards and let someone else win shameful

So sick of this story, means nothing in the world at large. Don't put sports stars up to be admired as heroes.
