I know this is the news section but I have to vent.

So the word is going round is that Lance Armstrong is going to confess that he is a drug cheap on Oprah. This is nothing but a very calculated business decision in my opinion. A few years from now when he has spun this in such a way that instead of shame he gains public sympathy, using the cancer victim angle as an excuse, he'll be back on the public speaking circuit making more money than ever.

I've seen him speak at a work conference. He spent the entire hour and a half telling us how he was an innocent and honest man fallen victim to a witch hunt. mad.gif

Oh, and he's not taking a fee from Oprah. How honourable. rolleyes.gif

Pass me a bucket.

Hang your head in shame Lance Armstrong. You have made a mockery of yourself, your sport and your country.

If he needs to hang his head in shame, then so does almost all of the cycling community. I still like him *meh*

Perhaps there's another book deal on offer.

He's a disgrace.

I agree. He'll be touring after this with the message of, "Don't do what I did, kids!"

I don't see how he can put a positive spin on years of deceit.
