Note: it won't air until Thursday...but maybe it will be leaked to the media. As you can see, he has already apologized to the staff at Livestrong...

I thought when Lance came out and told the world that he cheated, that took courage and heart especially since he is the world’s best cyclist. It took all of his guts to come out and come clean about the doping. But, there are some people that think he is lying to cover up something bigger than that. Lance has been banned from Cycling as the sport and also been stripped of his medals like Tour de France. Nike has also said that they are going to stick by him and support him through this.

I thought by Lance finally coming out and telling the world that he cheated, using performance drugs. I thought that it took lots of guts to do what he did, after telling the media and the world that he didn’t cheat. Lance has been banned from cycling and stripped from all the medals that he had won.

1-23-13- Lance Armstrong admitted last Thursday to doping, and doping during all seven of his tour de France gold medal years. He did it through a show with Oprah Winfrey. Many people now see him as a legendary liar and cheater; he said that he is going to spend the rest of his life trying to get people to forgive him. He said that he doesn’t believe that he would have won the tour de France’s without cheating, because almost everyone else was also doping.

Lance Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France champion, was the king of cycling for most of the 2000s. Armstrong single-handedly made cycling, and the Tour de France in particular, a major spectator sport in America. Having survived testicular cancer that metastasized to his lungs and his brain, Armstrong became a powerful symbol of the possibilities of life after the disease. He also became a world-class philanthropist. Live strong, the charity he founded in 1997, gives millions on behalf of cancer patients.

Yes, Lance Armstrong has confessed to doping over his streak of seven Tour de France titles. Lance confessed on the Oprah show, which aired on Thursday of last week. The reason he confessed was, because he saw his son defending him about doping. I wouldn't sponsor Lance in anymore things, because he lied to so many people. He had so many chances to confess, but he didn't. So that shows that he has a cheap personality.
