How he got away with this for many years is beyond me. After more than a decade of denying
doping claims, cyclist Lance Armstrong has admitted to Oprah
that he used performance-enhancing drugs to help him win seven Tour de
France titles. A person familiar with the situation
told the Associated Press that Armstrong confessed to Oprah Winfrey
during an interview taping, which is slated to
air on Thursday on her network.
Armstrong
was stripped of all seven Tour titles and banned for life last year by a U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after it was discovered that he used performance enhancement drugs to win.
He had a meeting last month with US Anti-Doping Agency officials, and they said they were willing to reduce his life ban if he
would testify against the people who helped him dope.
That is just the way it is sometimes. I dont feel sorry for him!

Lance Armstrong was my man..He was really an inspiration, he battled with Cancer and came out victorious..How many ppl can testify to such an accomplishment..But Doping for 7 Years is a really big shame, i must admit. Well as the saying goes "Never change a winning formula" which indeed he held on to. Such a poor and sad end to a illustrious Career.
ReplyDeleteMany of dem dope up mehn. A lot can't compete without doping.

ReplyDeleteI wish life cld b dis simple. Own up wen u r caught or even confess to a crime before u r caught. Wallahi life for make sense. I feel for Lance though
ReplyDeleteA BIG SHAME ... DOPING FOR MANY YEARS AND NOW CONFESSING. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE NOW EXCEPT DENYING THE INDIVIDUALS THAT WON EACH RACE OF THEIR GLORY.
ReplyDeletehttp://applytojobs.blogspot.co.uk
Bros Lance you are a man! You jonzed and yet you were still responsible enough by desiring to cleaned up your mess...hence,your coming out to seek a closure in your heart,to this matter. It doesnt matter what ppl say...yea,your life would be more different now cos you spoke the truth.so you have to bear it in good fate,you havent lost all. Jesus is by the corner waiting for you to make your repentance a wholesome one,by accepting him as your Lord and Saviour. If not THEY wont stop till THEY ruin you totally!
ReplyDeleteDon't hold your breath. He's said what we have already read and heard albeit in his own words.
ReplyDeleteLibel suits are on the way if he came clean with Oprah. He's extremely sharp and i'm sure he's a tad cautious with what he revealed.
He will rope in the UCI who covered it up for so long. Then, the ICI will want him to come and testify. I see this dragging on.
"Oprah: I would say [Lance Armstrong] did not come clean in the manner I had expected. It was surprising to me."
Nooooo don't snitch o!
ReplyDeleteMan can never be trusted!
ReplyDeleteThey should give Lance Amstrong a break. Is he the only one that takes drugs....
ReplyDeleteHABA LANCE NWOKEM, WHY START SOMETHING YOU COULDN'T SEE TO THE END? YOU SHOULD HAVE COME TO NIGERIA FIRST TO GET PROPER TUTORIALS ON HOW TO LIE AND DIE LYING BEFORE GETTING ON THAT LYING TRAIN!! IT'S THE ONLY WAY O BCOS WE ARE THE MASTERS OF 'LIE TILL YOU DIE!!" NO PITY FOR YOU AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteyou funny o....
DeleteThis ppl can confess sha!
ReplyDeletehmmmmm why is a writing like a writing desk think my people hmmmmmm
ReplyDeletewhy the sudden urge to confess? well Lance its over lesson learnt never build anything on a lie
ReplyDeleteLol
ReplyDeleteLance how does humiliation taste eh? Remember my girl cheryl crowe? U tossed her away and said u did not want kids. Guess u tot she was an old biddy gunning for marriage. So u left her for another girl and gbozaaaaa, u had a baby with that one. Serves u right mudafucka!!!!
ReplyDeleteOprah Winfrey......"Mother confessor"........abi how she dey make dis people confess? Lol.
ReplyDeleteEhya..oprah asked him abt 11equestion...she too is in awe on hw he did it.
ReplyDeleteU peeps are missing d point he wants to come clean so dat he can compete again in d nxt tri~thon...a lot of wash in dis shit.
ReplyDeleteEyaaaaa dis is sad tho,y did he confess nyway???americans sef smh
ReplyDeleteAnon January 15, 2013 at 8:39 PM; only if he does it under oath will he be able to take part in whatever sports he wants to. Talking to Oprah wasn't done under oath.
ReplyDeleteLinda what do you mean by this and I quote "How he got away with this for many years is beyond me".your Nigerian leaders are busy looting the nations wealth daily and Lance's drug usage is beyond you? Ordinary light una no get for Naija, please don't be a hypocrite ok? After all they all used drugs, Lance was just caught. Ten years from now someone else will come out and confess. This guy raised up to $500 million for cancer research did u know that? Your leaders theft is not beyond you na Lance drug use naim dey beyond u abi? Naime tear ur pant?
ReplyDelete.....and where did u get ur own news from??? Because this is not what OPrah said
