found this a powerful piece of writing and illustrates i'm sure the bitterness a lot will feel who were duped by Lance:

That is one angry angry man. Can't say I blame him.

That's a Wiggins quote from the above article. Is this what has been twisted into his attack on "bitter people like Kimmage"??? Because the above reads nothing like that to me.

These are also quotes from Wiggo

There are a lot of people who are eaten up by it and very bitter over the whole situation.

cause it's not like Lance was racing in the 2000s

I mentioned that the other day. Wiggens is preaching to the 'unwashed masses' on Skynews who know little of the history or don't bother checking dates on doping cases - trying to put some distance between him and the dopers - but we know its so recent.

IIRC
OJ Simpson was doped to the gills with tranquilizers during his trail so he wouldn't appear intimidating.

'Did you ever use performance enhancing drugs of any kind?"

T'would be interesting to know how many of the 155 who voted Yes, but he's still great still think he's great now?

Leave it open

some people will keep the faith even if Lance has to be seen to give into peer pressure.

Note that it's not possible to change your vote choice..

petethedrummer · 18-01-2013 1:09am

No

So he's going to own up to being a doper. Will he own up to being a massive ar5e?

Are any Irish channels going to be showing the interview (or indeed any channels you can get on your average UPC digital box)? Would much rather watch this on my TV with decent sound etc than on my laptop.

petethedrummer · 18-01-2013 2:03am

No

Discovery* (208 on UPC)

*oh the irony.

It's on Discovery at 2am.

hatrickpatrick · 18-01-2013 2:07am

Cheers, so it is.
Googled around for whether it was showing in Ireland and all the hits I found just said to watch it on Oprah's website O_o

WumBuster · 18-01-2013 2:08am

So many cans of worms he could open here there must be a ton of people quaking, waiting with their phones to ring their lawyer.

Oprah: So lance, Do you think there is still doping in cycling today?
Lance: Absolutely, everyone does it
Oprah: really, even the present TDF winner?
Lance: 100%. I recommended his doctor

BOOM!

petethedrummer · 18-01-2013 2:16am

No

He's not naming any riders. The finger will point upwards.

feck sake lads · 18-01-2013 2:32am

Captain Havoc · 18-01-2013 2:34am

I've put matchsticks under my eyes, not working in the morning so hopefully the juicey stuff comes out tonight as I'm working Saturday morning.

Hermy · 18-01-2013 2:35am

Why wouldn't I? Even with PEDs, it still takes some freak of a person to survive cancer and go back to competing professionally. Good chance he'd still have been a professional rider within the peleton without taking anything. He wouldn't be competing with the top GT contenders, even if they were all clean imo (although who knows who the best clean rider was at that time), but it's still an amazing feat to go from cancer patient to professional cyclist.
