Not sure many people will give him the time of day to care any more, to be honest. I, as a huge cycling fan (more than football these days), consider what's done to be done and Lance is flogging a dead horse if he thinks a confession will salvage any dignity he has left.

Well head over to the Cycling Geeks thread. New members of the family are always welcome.
Re: Lance. Many people won't care but he would have one hell of a story to tell on how he evaded the testing. That could put WADA or the UCI right in the shit.

His one last attempt to control of the situation could be him gaining massive exposure for his confession and choosing who to destroy and when.
Obviously it's true, as we have no foundation on which to believe Lance.
It just brings me back to the same problem.
Cycling financially is a piss poor 3rd world sport, that can be bought for only £200,000.
That's one weeks wages to a top top flight footballer.
How can it be the 'only' sport with a doping culture?
He will be interviewed by Oprah Winfrey on 17th January.

Los Angeles, CA – Oprah Winfrey will speak exclusively with Lance Armstrong in his first no-holds-barred interview. Armstrong will address the alleged doping scandal, years of accusations of cheating, and charges of lying about the use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout his storied cycling career.
The special 90-minute Thursday night episode of Oprah's Next Chapter will air Thursday, January 17 (9:00 – 10:30 p.m. ET/PT) on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. In addition-the interview will be simultaneously streamed LIVE worldwide on Oprah.com.
In the interview, Winfrey speaks with Armstrong at his home in Austin, Texas in the only interview since the seven-time Tour de France winner was stripped of his titles and dropped from millions of dollars in endorsement deals after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released an extensive report accusing the renown cyclist of doping throughout his career. Armstrong was given a lifetime ban on competing professionally. Late last year, Armstrong resigned as chairman of the foundation he created, Livestrong, which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in the fight against cancer.

No holes barred, except those restricted by fear of prosecution from Lance's lawyers.

Could be textbook TV Confessional Bingo.
A fiver says he brings up some kind of childhood trauma as justification. Crying is absolutely odds on.

2am surely.
It's 9pm et/pt which is the LA time zone on the west coast, which is 8 hours behind us, not the east coast time zone, which is 5 hours behind us.
EDIT: Or possibly both. I looked up pt first, et is -5 hours (et is the spanish language version of est and that confused me). It appears it is airing twice in america so that it airs at 9pm in two time zones. I imagine this means it will air twice on the net?

Ten questions Oprah Winfrey should ask Lance Armstrong | William Fotheringham | Sport | guardian.co.uk
9. A cycling fan, who believed in you for many years, asked how people like him could possibly now have faith in any of their heroes. What would you say to him and those in the cancer community who believed in you for so long?

I think he'll keep coming back to cancer as its a sure fire way to tug on the heartstrings. Expect lots of "it reminded me of when I was fighting cancer..." of "during my darkest times, fighting cancer, ...." and the like.
I'm not sure you grew up at all. (that's not meant anything like as harsh as it sounds
) Come on man, wake up and smell the coffee.Now here's a man that's wise to the world. Good call.
I imagine the whole thing is going to be completely disgusting, vomit inducing, insincere, American shite. If I watch it, I'll probably need a new telly in the morning. Going to check I have accidental damage include on the insurance policy.
