Oprah interview Part 1: Lance Armstrong admits doping, but leaves many questions unanswered +reaction

Armstrong admits doping his way to seven Tour de France victories but denies using PEDs after 2009 comeback

Did you ever take banned substances to enhance cycling performance?” “Yes.” Thus replied Lance Armstrong to the very first question put by Oprah Winfrey in part one of her interview with him that aired at 9pm Eastern Time in the United States yesterday evening. Admissions to using EPO, cortisone, testosterone and having illegal blood transfusions swiftly followed as he admitted he had doped his way to all seven of his Tour de France victories from 1999 to 2005. However, he strongly denied doping following his comeback in 2009.

From the outset, it was clear that Winfrey would not be giving Armstrong an easy ride. Her research had been meticulous, the questions were uncompromising, and each was preceded by a short montage that set the scene.

For Armstrong's part, there were none of the predicted tears, his gaze steel-blue, though his nervousness at some of the more punchy questions was betrayed by nervous laughter and shifting uncomfortably in his chair.

At other times, he was defiant, particularly when aggressively rejecting certain parts of the testimony laid against him - shades of the man who for so long denied everything, though given the reaction on Twitter and in the media, no-one seems inclined to believe any of his protestations now - and occasionally he even seemed distant and detached, as though talking about someone else.

"You brazenly denied everything so why now?" asked Winfrey.

"That's the best question," said Armstrong. "I don't know I have a great answer.

"This is too late, probably for most people and that's my fault. I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times. It's not as if I said no and moved off it. While I've lived through this process, I know the truth. The truth isn't what I said and now it's gone."

Regarding his doping, he said: "I viewed it as very simple. There were things that were oxygen-supplying drugs that were beneficial for cycling. My cocktail was EPO, but not a lot, transfusions and testosterone. There's no true justification.

"Were you afraid of getting caught?"

"No. Testing has evolved. Back then they didn't come to your house and there was no testing out of competition and for most of my career there wasn't that much out-of-competition testing so you're not going to get caught because you clean up for the races.

"It's a question of scheduling. That sounds weird. I'm no fan of the UCI but the biological passport worked."

However, it became apparent very early on that Armstrong would not be admitting to all of the findings of the USADA investigation that saw him banned from sport for life and stripped of all results dating from 1 August 1999.

He maintained that USADA's claim that it was the biggest doping conspiracy in sporting history was incorrect, citing the former East German doping programme.

Most notably, he refuted suggestions he had taken banned substances following his comeback in 2009, despite evidence in USADA's dossier of, among other things, suspicious blood values and payments to the banned trainer and physician Michele Ferrari, who Armstrong said he viewed "as a good man, as a smart man, and I still do.”

Armstrong's denial of doping since his comeback echoes the words of UCI President Pat McQuaid, who when he announced in October that the governing body was endorsing USADA's decision, said: "I don't accept the findings in 2009 and 2010."

There is a good reason for Armstrong to continue to deny doping from that period; under a statute of limitations, parties such as sponsors cannot sue him following his confession to doping. However, no such bar would apply to lawsuits relating to the period from 2009 onwards.

Likewise, he rejected some of the testimony provided by USADA's witnesses, insisting that he never told junior riders on the team to dope, mentioning Christian Vande Velde to dope.

Armstrong admitted, "I was a bully. I tried to control the narrative. If I didn't like what somebody said, I tried to control that. I've been like that my entire life.

"It was win at all costs. When I was diagnosed [with cancer in 1996] I would do anything to survive. I took that attitude - win at all costs - to cycling. That's bad. I was taking drugs before that but I wasn't a bully," he added, thereby admitting doping before the period to which the USADA investigation relates and, moreover, before he contracted cancer; some have wondered whether his contracting the disease may have resulted from prior drug use.

Asked about those who had been among the first to point the finger at him, he said that his former masseuse, Emma O'Reilly, was "one of these people I have to apologise to. She’s one of these people who got run over." Reminded by Winfrey he had sued her, Armstrong seemed lost for a moment. "We sued so many people I’m not sure," he said.

He confirmd she had been correct when she said that he had tested positive for cortisone during the 1999 Tour and had only managed to escape further action after producing a ficticious and backdated therapeutic use exemption certificate.

Mentioning Sunday Times journalist David Walsh, to whom O'Reilly had revealed details of Armstrong's doping, and Betsy Andreu, wife of his former team mate Frankie Andreu, Winfrey pressed him: "You’re suing people and you know they’re telling the truth? What is that?"

"It’s a major flaw… it’s inexcusable," replied Armstrong.

However, he refused to answer a question about whether Betsy Andreu was telling the truth when she said that she had heard him list substances he had taken to a doctor in an Indianapolis hospital room when he was first diagnosed with cancer.

Speaking to CNN immediately after last night's interview, Mrs Andreu said: "The hospital is where it all started. He's going to infuriate people who know the truth. He's still protecting people who are close to him."

Referring to his protestations that he had no influence over whether others in the team doping and no control over hiring and firing, she added: He was co-owner of the team, decided who was hired, fired, who got paid what. He was cosying up to politicians, the governing bodies. It's completely disingenuous and a way of distancing himself of being the leader."

One of the more surprising twists was Armstrong's claim that the donation of $125,000 that he made to the UCI was not a unilateral one made voluntarily, but rather was made at the request of the UCI. He denied, however, that it was linked to a suspect test for EPO during the Tour de Suisse in 2001 - he said "there was no positive test" and that "the UCI did not make that go away."

He added, "I'm no fan of the UCI," which begs the question of why he made the payment, whether that be of his own volition or  at the request of the UCI. He also said that the payment was made after his first retirement in 2005.

However, in 2010, Pat McQuaid said that Armstrong had offered the money at a meeting at UCI headquarters in Aigle in May 2002, paying $25,000 by personal cheque there and then and the remaining $100,000 in 2005 when he was sent a reminder. Questions are bound to be asked of the UCI about whether Armstrong made the payments voluntarily, or whether the sum was requested of him.

Armstrong also insisted he had no influence in the Department of Justice dropping the federal investigation against him in February last year - he said it was "difficult" to do which some observers noted isn't the same as saying it's "impossible" - and he added that he believed he was "out of the woods" when the it was shelved.

Referring to the prospect of a truth and reconciliation commission, Armstrong said: "If they have it, and I'm invited, I'll be the first man at the door."

For many, the tipping point in the investigation against Armstrong, and the moment their suspicions he had cheated turned to certainty, was when it was revealed that George Hincapie, who rode alongside him in all seven editions of the Tour between 1999 and 2005, had testified to the federal grand jury investigating the former US Postal team.

"George is the most credible voice in all this," reflected Armstrong. "He did all seven Tours, I knew him since I was 16, we parcatically lived together, we trained together every day, and for the record, we're still great friends. We still talk once a week, I don't fault George Hincapie. But George knows this story better than anybody."

Those were Armstrong's final words in the first part of the interview, and it appears that the focus will now shift away from cycling. Among issues that will be explored in the second part, airing tomorrow at 9am Eastern Time (2am GMT in the UK) are LiveStrong, sponsors, his children, his mother, and what lies ahead for him.

In a statement issued shortly after the programme finished, USADA, without whose persistence Armstrong would most likely never have been held to account, said: “Tonight, Lance Armstrong finally acknowledged that his cycling career was built on a powerful combination of doping and deceit.

"His admission that he doped throughout his career is a small step in the right direction. But if he is sincere in his desire to correct his past mistakes, he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities.”

Livestrong, the charity Armstrong founded as he recovered from cancer, also issued a statement after the interview aired, saying: “We at the Livestrong Foundation are disappointed by the news that Lance Armstrong misled people during and after his cycling career, including us. Earlier this week, Lance apologized to our staff and we accepted his apology in order to move on and chart a strong, independent course. We look forward to devoting our full energy to our mission of helping people not only fight and survive cancer, but also thrive in life after cancer.

"Even in the wake of our disappointment, we also express our gratitude to Lance as a survivor for the drive, devotion and spirit he brought to serving cancer patients and the entire cancer community. Lance is no longer on the Foundation’s board, but he is our founder and we will always be grateful to him for creating and helping to build a Foundation that has served millions struggling with cancer.

The Livestrong Foundation is one of the most highly-rated and effective cancer organizations in the United States. Our success has never been based on one person – it’s based on the patients and survivors we serve every day, who approach a cancer diagnosis with hope, courage and perseverance. We listened to their needs and took action to create free cancer support services that offer access to clinical trials, fertility preservation, insurance coverage and even transportation to treatment. People living with and through cancer are the inspiration behind our work. They have been, are and always will be our focus.”

The guy may be a bully, control freak, cheat, but love him or hate him the tour de france went from being a huge race for cycling fans (only) to a world wide sporting event. The cycling world was pretty small before and as a 30 year fan of the sport i feel it was lance who raised the profile. I can state i am not a fan of his nor have i ever been having always willed jan ulrich on to 2nd place.
There have always been cheats and there always will be. Any sport needs "characters" to make it interesting and accessable to the general public who unsurprisingly dont understand why heroic??? breakaways dont succeed and are left to hang out to dry until the last 10km day after day. Lance fulfilled this role until cavendish and wiggins came along.

Cycling never has and never will need Lance. I've been following cycling nearly as long as you, but the races I remember most fondly were the ones in late 80s, before EPO. I liked Big Mig, I never liked Armstrong Siestriere, Hautacam, Alpe D'Huez, each year a strangely super human victory.....and it was like watching a computer game. The battle between Lemond and Hinault, Lemond and Fignon, or Stephen Roach's battle out of the mist were all fantastic races. I didn't get anything like that from Lance. Because he made himself invincible, there was no competition. He never looked like losing. I admit his story was one which people liked to believe in, but cycling would still be cycling without Lance. The Tour and Cycling are bigger than him. And if you want a new set of heroes you can dig into the rich past of this sport and dig some more natural ones out.

There are some cracking points made by people here, some heartfelt, some very analytical.

My view is he could not have done it alone and set it up on his own so who else was pulling the strings with him, and i'm not talking about other riders here i mean people higher up the chain. Will be interesting to see what happens in part 2.

Just to give a little bit of balance -

I disagree with the article where is states:

"At other times, he was defiant, particularly when aggressively rejecting certain parts of the testimony laid against him"

Perhaps I watched a different interview, but I never once saw LA being aggressive. Yes, he rejected things, but never aggressively.

I also think the article could expand on the statement:

"he never told junior riders on the team to dope, mentioning Christian Vande Velde to dope."

Firstly, he made a valid point, asking if it was all down to him why Vande Velde doped after he'd left his team. Also, Oprah (who did a very good, well-researched job) pressed him further at this point and got LA to admit that he created at least a perception amongst the team that they had to dope (can't remember her exact wording, but it was when she asked, after his original answer, if we were dealing with "semantics").

Also, at the point he was talking about the donation and there being no cover-up, did I hear him indicate that the UCI is "shadey", or have I imagined that? Can't remember how he worded it exactly - I'll re-watch again later.

I get the feeling he will name names. Not to Oprah - that's about him (he stated that at the start), but when the law suits start.

I'm looking forward to tonight's part 2 - it looks more interesting than part 1 because it looks like it'll cover areas we don't already know / could guess about.

Tomorrow, I'm going to wrap up warm, get my bike out and go for a ride. I'm going to get out into the country or maybe the coast and just enjoy peddling my bike for the sake of it. No computer, no Strava and no thoughts of trying to beat anyone else. Don't buy into the media hyperbole about cycling being in crisis - its fucking great  4

Agreed.
No surprises last night, but I'll watch again tonight. Then I think I'll ride my bike on Saturday and then I think I'll ride my bike on Sunday (live in Texas, so no worries about snow!). I enjoy riding my bike and whatever happens to/about Lance it won't change that.

I would like, however, for someone (anyone!) to explain how massive quantities (if 80% of the peleton were doping for almost a decade) of a drug that is used in the treatment of kidney failure and cancer found their way into the hands of pro cycling teams? Someone, somewhere, in the supply line from the drug companies who produce the stuff must have been making a killing; how come the prosecutions/bans seem to stop at team doctors? Who was supplying them?
Surely that is the kind of depth that any investigation must go to, in order to begin to ensure that this type of scenario cannot happen again?

I think one of the issues is that obtaining medicines is easier in some countries. Some countries have a much more relaxed view point on the obtaining and selling of pharmaceuticals, and it appears (from the books I've read), many of the cyclists were able to get contacts who could supply them.....just like recreational drugs. But don't forget, most teams have a team doctor. In the case of Armstrong, he used Ferrari, and many also use Ufi Fuentes.

mattsccm - read up more before commenting. Fraud. Perjury was an option but the US statute limitations will protect him on that one unless they go at him for his 09 ride. Witness intimidation. Blackmail. Slander. Drug trafficking. Defrauding the US taxpayer. Luckily, the last one could be his main undoing and was, in a nice twist, initiated by Floyd Landis. If the US government join suit, the total sought against Armstrong, Bruyneel, Thom Weisel, Bill Stapleton and others at Tailwind sports could be around 100 million.

The man's a small-minded, sociopathic shyster, get used to it.

Well it was a good trailer for his next book.

I don't think we learnt any more than was already pieced together from information that has come into the public domain in the last six months.

I thought his excuses were lame and he might as well of said he was driven by greed rather than a love of the sport. He showed all the remorse of an investment banker after they had gambled away the banks assets.

I hope know that he gets a serious grilling so we learn who was and wasn't involved.

Just watching part one of the interview and oprah did an ok job she asking the right questions! And like nostromo said its doubtful he would have talked to anyone else! But The guys a tool and admitting it to her is just a PR scam to try to get the public to feel sorry for him! And to get himself back in the public eye. The guy was void of all emotion! Least its all out in the open now and people can move on!

Very creepy interview, seemed devoid of empathy and remorse to me. The guys a sociopath.

The only thing that would get to him would be to never give him any further press coverage. And the TdF people should ask for those yellow jerseys from his games room back too - don't suppose he'd like that! Mind you, he'd probably just replace them with giant posters of himself!

Perjury is. Doping in sport is, in France. Slander is, and I would imagine that death threats are. There's plenty to go at.

I think Oprah did as good a job as she could and I don't think anyone could have done any better at this stage because LA would not have got in a room with anyone else. Walsh, Kimmage and co would not have gotten to sit down with him and if they had it would probably have ended up too confrontational and testosterone-fuelled. So in that respect, I thought Oprah was well-prepared, strong without being aggressive and determined to press him on the truth. Good job Oprah - I'm eagerly awaiting the second round.

As for LA - he didn't sound contrite to me. The only things he showed true remorse for were the mistakes he made in coming back and the way in which he reacted to the USADA investigation - or to be precise, the mistakes that led to his downfall. He came across as the amoral, ruthless, bullying 'win-at-all-costs' cheat that he is. Part of that is the way in which Oprah lets his true character speak, but most of it is his arrogance and his inherent belief that he is 'great'. I also think he lacks understanding of what he has done wrong. It seems like he can't process the idea that what he was doing wasn't OK in the context of the sport at that time and the challenge of winning the Tour. His view is that yes, he cheated, but so did everyone else, so it isn't really cheating. The bit about claiming to be 'clean' all that time is forgotten.

how any of us who have not been personally affected by this, ie lost some prize money, have any right to a say. Nowt to do with us really, just opinion. However wiggins for example might well have a valid opinion on that matter.

You are completely incorrect. What is money in comparison to the millions of hoursof time and unmeasurable amounts of passion that millions of people around the world have put into their love of a sport. Sport is all about emotion and when money gets in the way it is destroyed. Lance being the case in point, the premier league further displaying this and the sucess of the Olympics being it's counterpoint.

mattsccm I just don't know how you can say that given he lied to all of us.

He has been instrumental in sullying the name of the sport I love.

It pisses me off that there are still apologists around like you who could never see the truth, and sided with him (and still side with him) which does affect those that tried to bring the truth to light. We're having our time now and so I say to you "go away if you don't like it". Because of people like you, you made it easier for him to destroy the careers of people who were more honest. People who didn't dope and who didn't see it as a natural side of the sport.

If you can't see the bigger picture then that's your problem. Wanting this to go away is part of the problem not solving it (the problem being drugs in sport if you haven't figured that out).

The biggest spectator sport in the world has nothing to do with the spectators of that sport? Wow. Just wow.

Even if you have no interest in cycling you can be 'bothered' by the (in)human angle. You should get emotional when you read about a massively rich, powerful influential bully driving people to financial ruin and seeking to end their careers. You don't even have to own a bike to have the right emotional reaction to that. Indignance is not always misplaced.

spot on, if he hadn't doped nobody'dreams would suddenly have been fulfilled, except those of Zulle, Ullrich, Beloki, Kloden, and Basso. Not exactly a list of clean riders there! I think Nicole Cook was being over-simplistic in her view of the affect of Armstrong's doping. Doping did not start and end with LA, and if you read Van de Velde's sworn testomony, I would argue that the doping system at the US Postal team was no more or less sophisticated than at the top European teams of the time (read about his doping when he left LA's team) - at the end of the day the drugs are European, and the 'team doctors' are European - LA didn't create the industry, it was already there being used by other teams and riders, and I dare say still is! Who did Team Sky recently admit to employing at arms length!!!

This is all such self-serving crap.

A carefully crafted 'admission' that seeks only to limit his current liabilities - and when it comes to the 'credibility' Armstrong is so fond of referring to; he has none.

He has denied everything right up to and beyond when it was possible to do so.

His admissions now are partial, and nothing still within the statute of limitations is being confessed to.

Please oh please America - show some moral fibre and prosecute this turd. And let's hear no more of him. Ever.

Slightly strange that the UCI requested one of its riders donate some money to their drug testing program!

Could it be that he limited testimony to protect his 'friends'.

Of course! No change there Lance. Still lying and still unrepentant.
