I guess I have some apologizing to do myself.
I probably was one of the few who believed legendary cyclist Lance Armstrong when he claimed he stopped fighting against the charges that he had doped during his career because he was tired of being accused.
In a surprising turn, the former Olympic medalist has done a sit down with Oprah Winfrey (scheduled to air over two nights) where he admits that he had been drugging himself during his many triumphant wins.
… according to the report, Lance finally ‘fessed up to cheating … the first time he’s ever admitted wrongdoing during his professional career.
Earlier in the day, Lance apologized to the staff at Livestrong, choking up and saying he was sorry for letting down the organization.
The way Lance worded his admission could have serious legal ramifications — considering he’s facing possible criminal prosecution and civil liability for allegedly lying about his PED use in a number of legal proceedings.
Oprah said herself in an interview this morning with CBS’ This Morning that she came prepared to the Lance sit down with 112 questions and while obviously she couldn’t ask all of them, he did respond to the “most important questions and [gave the] answers that people around the world had been waiting to hear.”
She also expressed that while he didn’t answer everything “in the manner that I expected,” she was “mesmerized and riveted” by some of the answers he did respond to.
This is going to be interesting.
The two part interview airs beginning Thursday evening on OWN.
