250/1 odds? How can I not bet on "I did not have sexual relations with that bike"
Beat me to it, LOL
These people can fuck right off too. Wait forever and then come out and tell the truth, go to hell.
Wouldn't he be guilty of perjury if he does this ?

Why would sponsors be able to sue him? Do they have to sign a contract stating they don't use doping?No, because the statute of limitations has expired. He won't be charged criminally but do expect civil suits from his ex-sponsors and victims.

That would make sense on one hand, but would be pretty unfair on the other. They still got an incredible amount of publicity etc. Everything they paid for, they technically got. Since he, at the time, was the winner. Seems kind of strange to demand compensation later on even though you got everything you wanted when he won at the time. Publicity etc.They signed a contract saying we give you XX dollars if you win. And he didn't win so they want their money back.

What's the point, besides trying to boost his ego. Doping or not, he's still an asshole.
Book money!
If I Doped.
HE WAS FORCING HIS TEAMMATES TO DOPE SO THEY COULDN'T RAT HIM OUT!Happens all the time, but you always have people coming out of the woodwork once accusations about someone comes out. If it was so important to them, why not say something before he's accused of doping? People trying to become famous by shitting on people close to them. It wasn't as if Lance was the only one with access to the drugs, taking them, or having people hide them.
Maybe now Greg Lemond can get his bicycle line back in production.
I can't wait to see how he tries to re-write history.
He did it for America! He's a god damn American hero!
Zero chance this works.
How's that?
I am blaming those who used drugs themselves and now say they regret it blabla. I have no sympathy for them and them testifying means nothing to me. They're all hacks who participated in disgusting acts. As for the rest of your comment, I can see that being true. I don't have a problem with that kind of situation, but these people shouldn't expect some kind of sympathy. It's not like their lives depended on it. It wasn't Nazi Germany and you're called to join the army.Are you for real?? Are you seriously blaming witnesses who gave testimonies?
I agree these people should get their money back. He should give back prize money and so on.SCA Promotions refused to pay him his prize money on the basis of cheating and lost the suit years ago. You don't think they deserve their money back?
And then we have The Sunday Times sues Lance Armstrong over libel-suit settlement.
I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg.
That's true, but it seems silly that sponsor money from 10 years ago is linked to lance the doping sociopath. At the time you as a sponsor benefited greatly from his lance the inspiration image. You got what you paid for. I doubt that the fact that it turns out he doped, means that you didn't enjoy great benefits in the past. I'm trying to think of an analogy, but can't think of one right now. Both parties benefited at the time when most of this sponsor money was given however. I do remember reading that sponsor money is often considered prize money in sports, so I'm not aware of the technicalities here, which is why I asked whether they have a case. If it's something like that then they would obviously have a case, I guess.True, but they linked their brand names to this guys image. They were buying into 'Lance the inspiration', not 'Lance the doping sociopath'.
I've somewhat followed the story, but that does sound pretty douchey.
Damn, that's pretty amazing. I always read that the drug usage in the sport was pretty high. If over half the winners in the last 30 years have been found cheating, it's time to completely overhaul the makeup of the sport.
He's going on Oprah?
What a joke. Woman can't interview for shit...which is why he's going on there.
Cops need to lock him up for purjury is he's walking out
Would have more respect if he kept denying it until the end. Stick with it man!
Oprah is the great confessor of our age. She will cleanse him of his sins.
Same here.I'm honestly curious about what Triple U thinks of all this.
He also destroyed careers and lives. Guy is a grade A asshole. Let's not bring a charity into this. It is a good charity in a very tough situation at the moment. Hopefully most don't lose sight of the good it has done.
Oprah is a pushover.
The only reason she grilled James Frey was because she picked his stupid book for her book club and made her look like an idiot.
The interview will be a joke.
Brothers, we'll beat cancer one day. We just haven't sold enough wristbands and pink ribbons.
But now we're REALLY aware of it.
