THE INTERVIEW: Lance Armstrong Will Ask Oprah for Absolution, Forgiveness...

[Ubiquitous]

Lance Armstrong has decided to come clean, so to speak. Since the big
dope�s life is essentially ruined, he�s apparently going to admit it all
and ask for forgiveness. And who better to give it to him that Oprah?
She�s got him on January 17 from 9 to 10:30pm on the hard to find OWN
channel. Good for her. It used to be that celebrities went to Larry King
or Barbara Walters when they needed to eat crow publicly and return to
the world.

But for this generation it�s Oprah. Lance will cry, his eyes will well
up when he talks about his kids, he�ll show Oprah his scars from various
surgeries, and recommend a healing expert in Nepal which she�ll put on
her next Best Things list.

Will she grant him absolution? I hope not. But Armstrong has nothing to
lose�he�s lost everything. He deceived the world for years, and kept
lying about it. He had plenty of chances to explain himself. I don�t care
if he came from a broken home, was beaten with a bat, or made to wash the
dishes. Maybe this will be the last time we�ll have to hear from him.

We will wait for the usual clips, leaks, and advance bites.

PS Apparently the Showtime show, �60 Minutes Sports� is also headlining a
tremendous piece by Scott Pelley. Check it out at CBSNews.com

What could be more fitting in his slide to mediocrity than choosing
Oprah Winfrey? The guy is about to slide underneath Bruce Jenner in
terms of self-respect.

Fer sure! It's a shame she's become this nation's absolver of sins.

Well, she is to a degree, but only for people who have sunk really
really low.

And the sheeple.

right.... let's turn this Armstrong story into a political rant against our president.. troll!!!

[cycl...@yahoo.com]

Armstrong was blackmailed into a "confession" by not ever being allowed to race professionally again unless he confessed. So that confession was both worthless and illegally obtained. Nothing that was ever used against Lance would ever hold up in a court of law and that's why it was never taken there.

How is it that a European sport was being investigated by an American government bureaucracy while American sports which make little to no effort to curb drug use are left alone?

Mind you, I realize that ALL professional sports use performance enhancing drugs to the limit of detection but because everyone is doing it we strike a deal with the devil. The ONLY way you can charge someone with drug use is with positive testing. Since Lance did not test positive he was not cheating anymore than anyone else.

I think that the USADA is long overdue to be closed down forever.
