To doping in an interview with Oprah. Supposed on air in a few days.
ETA: actually kind of refreshing to see someone come out an admit it. However, of all athletes, he was the worst denier ever.

You've got a liberal definition of come out and admit.

Chances he makes it look like he's lying about lying

Lance Armstrong is the biggest fraud in sports since Joe Paterno.

Harpo could get anyone to confess

as much as he denied it and the way he slandered people who came out and said he in fact did shoot up, he can go frick himself

Why to Oprah? So dumb

As others are saying, it's not so much his doping (everyone at the front of the peloton certainly did, so it was an even playing field), and it wasn't the decade+ of denials. It was his concerted efforts to destroy anyone who told the truth: Betsy and Frankie Andreu, Emma O'Reilly (Postal Service team masseuse), Floyd Landis, Tyler Hamilton, multiple reporters, etc. And when Greg LeMond gave his expert opinion (having recovered from a devasting injury that kept him away from cycling for two years) that it was impossible for Lance to have gone from deathbed to TdF champ in 2.5 years, he was destroyed too. I believe Lance turned Trek against LeMond. At the time, Trek manufactured LeMond bikes, but I think they broke the contract and dropped him.
I saw Lance take shots on Twitter at Juliet Macur, a pretty dispassionate reporter for the NYT, simply for reporting the news—she never took shots at him, but she was clearly not a "friend of Lance," so he took shots at her. Last year I took a screen shot of his Twitter because he was being his true self for a moment, and I knew he would delete this tweet pretty quickly.
Lance is just a nasty, nasty dude who owes a lot of people apologies with a sincerity that you know he won't be able to muster. I'm surprised he's gonna admit doping because it seems like he would still be vulnerable to prosecution for taking public money (US Postal Service) for fradulent purposes, and I think there were also conspiracy charges.

Dude had one testi, gotta give him something to compensate!

No care in the world.
He could have avoided all of this by not acting like a 5-year-old and denying every chance he got.
Once a cheater, always a cheater

BS....he waited until he was past the Statute of Limitations for Perjury.

Wasn't his expected admission reported like a week ago? Old news
Posted on 1/12/13 at 9:21 am to ehidal1
OH MY GOD!!!!! EVERYTHING HE STANDS FOR IS NOT REAL!!!!!! WHAT A FRAUD!!!!!!
Seriously, who cares. Steroids didn't beat the cancers he had. He is still an inspiring story.

I personally don't GAF about this. I don't really follow biking but I hear doping is quite prevalent in the sport.

At least he has come out. I still admire him for his cancer foundation. A lot of people make mistakes and u don't see them standing up against cancer, although having cancer had a big role in that I am sure

He's about the only one left in the pro peleton who hasn't admitted.

He's just saying what we all already knew
