Lance Armstrong 'Confesses Doping To Oprah'

After more than a decade of denying doping claims, disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has admitted to Oprah that he used performance-enhancing drugs to help him win seven Tour de France titles, sources revealed Monday evening.
A person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press that Armstrong confessed to Oprah Winfrey during an interview taping with the Queen of Talk, which is slated to air on Thursday on her network.
Armstrong was stripped of all seven Tour titles last year in the wake of a voluminous U.S. Anti-Doping Agency report that portrayed him as a ruthless competitor, willing to go to any lengths to win the prestigious race.
Among them were Armstrong attorneys Tim Herman and Sean Breen, along with Bill Stapleton, Armstrong's longtime agent, manager and business partner.
All declined comment entering and exiting the session.

Soon afterward, Winfrey tweeted: 'Just wrapped with
She was scheduled to appear on 'CBS This Morning' on Tuesday to discuss the interview.
In a text to the AP on Saturday, Armstrong said: 'I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say.'
Armstrong stopped at the Livestrong Foundation, which he founded, on his way to the interview and said, 'I'm sorry' to staff members, some of whom broke down in tears.
A person with knowledge of that session said Armstrong choked up and several employees cried during the session.
The person also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk but he did not make a direct confession to using banned drugs.
He said he would try to restore the foundation's reputation, and urged the group to continue fighting for the charity's mission of helping cancer patients and their families.
Rae Bazzarre, a spokeswoman for Livestrong said it was emotional 'but we were all glad to see him.'
Armstrong had not been at the headquarters since October 21, Ms Bazzarre said, about two weeks before he resigned from Livestrong’s board of directors.
