Lance Armstrong and the confession
| Fri, 01-18-2013 - 10:46am |
Is anyone following the Lance doping saga? What do you think about Lance Armstrong's confession and his "deeply flawed" statement?
I personally think it is shameful that he lied, cheated, tormented people, and got away with it for so long and then suddenly blabs his heart out.What is it that he is really expecting-kwim?

I've read articles that say he's a sociopath and it seems to fit. He doesn't seem at all remorseful for what he did to others. If there were true remorse, he would have contacted them first. Oprah is a poor choice.
Speaking of which, Sheryl Crow sounds like a class act based on the media interviews she has done.

"Lance Armstrong 's life of lies couldn't have been easy.
Sheryl Crow, who dated the disgraced cyclist from 2003 to 2006, seems to have empathy for her ex-fiancé. She told Entertainment Tonight that it's "got to be really hard to walk around knowing that you're not telling the truth about something."
5 biggest bombshells from Lance and Oprah's interview
"I think that honesty is always the best bet and that the truth will set you free," she added. "To carry a weight like that around would be devastating in the long run…I always contend that the truth is the best way to go."
Last week, Lance finally admitted to Oprah Winfrey he used performance-enhancing drugs for all seven of his Tour de France wins. He blamed his "ruthless desire to win at all costs" for leading him to cheat and attempt to cover up his lies for so many years.
And while Sheryl was gracious about her ex's downfall, we bet she's secretly glad to have been set free of that relationship.
Lance had lots of famous friends"
Good point about Sheryl Crow. I'd love to know what she thinks about all this nonsense.

I agree w/ what everyone else said. I said this elsewhere but I think it's one thing to choose to destroy your body; it's another to destroy other people's reputation and coerce them to destroy their bodies. He's no better than a drug dealer. What surprises me is the amount of support he still has. I don't think steroid/PED are the issue--it's how he chose to deal w/ the aftermath that is the problem. The apology? Ulterior motive written all over it.
He is looking for the easy way out and he doesn't deserve it in my opinion. He should have to give back all his awards including every last penny. His name forever should used as a great example of self-absorbtion, greed, selfishness, poor sportsmanship, bullying, envy, strife, and grief.
