Lance Armstrong who was recently found guilty of doping and was stripped of seven Tour De France titles revealed all in an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey Network.<\/p>\n
Lance cheated as a cyclist and lied about it, he also set up a charitable organization-Livestrong-through which he raised half a billion dollars and saved countless lives.<\/p>\n
Today, Armstrong talked about his cheating and doping for the first time since the accusations surfaced at a taped interview with Oprah.<\/p>\n
He said that the last time he doped was the year 2005 claiming he was clean between 2009 and 2010<\/p>\n
Below are some of his words as he confessed to Oprah:<\/p>\n
“I viewed this situation as one big lie that I repeated many times”<\/p>\n
“All of the fault and all of the blame falls on me.”<\/p>\n
“I didn’t invent the culture but I didn’t try to stop it. And the sport is now paying the price. I’m sorry for that.”<\/p>\n
“My cocktail so to speak was EPO, transfusions and testosterone””<\/p>\n
“It was a competitive time and we all made our choices but there were people on the team who chose not to dope,”<\/p>\n
“I am now out of the business of lying to people.”<\/p>\n
“Yes I used banned substances”<\/p>\n
“Yes I will do anything to win, at all costs?”<\/p>\n
“It was win at all costs. When I was diagnosed (with cancer) I would do anything to survive.
\n‘My career was reckless, I am flawed, deeply flawed’<\/p>\n
“It did not feel wrong to win the Tour de France and I did not feel bad about it. I did not feel I was cheating,”<\/p>\n
‘Doping didn’t feel wrong and it didn’t feel like cheating. At the time. Viewed it “as a level playing field.”<\/p>\n
“The definition of cheat is to gain an advantage on a rival or foe. I didn’t do it that way.”<\/p>\n
“…I will spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologise to people for what has happened,”<\/p>\n
“I see the anger in people … the betrayal … the anger … and they have every right … and it’s my fault.””
\n\u201cThere are people in this story, they are good people, we\u2019ve all made mistakes, they are not toxic and evil.”<\/p>\n
He has just admitted to 15 years of deceit.<\/p>\n
