What on earth is going on?

If he hasn´t failed a drug test, how can he be found guilty just because he can´t be bothered to fight any more?

Is it an admission of guilt?

If the USADA has evidence-where is it-why haven´t they produced it or is it all just rumour/hearsay?

So he understood all that. And well enough to write about it in his autobiography.

And then inflicted it on others.

I tend to veer on the side of thinking that actually makes it even worse not better!

Given the way he has deceived so many people on such a massive scale over the last 20 years, it wouldnt surprise me if he had been economical with the truth in his own autobiography.

mayorquimby · 18/01/2013 17:26

Using his cancer as a shield from criticism and as a means to attack others is also pretty reprehensible

Grandiose Sense of Self
Pathological Lying
Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
Lack of Empathy
Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility

Just some of the indicators of a sociopathic personality which I believe Armstrong has.

Yes, I agree. A significant number of people have suggested he may well be. My husband said as much 2 years ago. He is a bully and has shown no real contrition about cheating and the way he victimised the people who spoke out against him. He deserves to be shamed.

Think its time they took down the TDF yellow t-shirts in his shop! This guy just doesn't get it.....

Does the Livestrong charity put money into cancer research or is it just cancer 'awareness'?

mayorquimby · 18/01/2013 18:07

Livestrong mostly puts money in the awareness of one cancer survivors, called Lance Armstrong. It's also used to pay for legal bills and travel costs of cancer survivors called Lance Armstrong.

It only has ever put precious little money towards research.

coldinthesun · 18/01/2013 19:03

That article is appalling anonacfr.

It really is questionable how long Livestrong really can survive this, if at all.

AnyaKnowIt · 18/01/2013 20:05

is anyone else watching?

expatinscotland · 18/01/2013 20:05

'I don't understand this vilification & vitriole. He was an abandoned, bullied and abused child himself and learnt a dog eat dog ethos from early childhood.'

No, he wasn't!

He's a sociopath who ruined peoples' lives and careers to cover up his lies and is only sorry because he got caught. He doesn't even remember all the people whose lives he wrecked and made a misery.

expatinscotland · 18/01/2013 20:08

What channel?

McKayz · 18/01/2013 20:09

It is on the Discovery Channel.

I recorded it when it was on overnight. He doesn't come across as sorry at all. The 2nd part is on overnight and tomorrow.

coldinthesun · 18/01/2013 20:18

Dammit. I watched the whole thing on youtube earlier but its been removed.

I would imagine part 2 will be up online for a while tomorrow before the lawyers get out of bed it gets pulled.

AnyaKnowIt · 18/01/2013 20:21

i get the feeling he has lied that much he doesn't know whats true anymore

expatinscotland · 18/01/2013 20:24

I'm going to YouTube, as don't have Sky so no Discovery.

squoosh · 18/01/2013 20:24

If it wasn't for journalists such as Paul Kimmage none of this would ever have come to light. Not that the sport will be thanking him anytime soon! He was bullied by Armstrong, vilified by those at the highest levels in cycling and I believe he even lost his job at the Sunday Times as a result of his crusade.

If I was him I'd be thinking 'fuck you Armstrong, the truth won in the end'.

coldinthesun · 18/01/2013 20:25

Actually it is still on youtube in 4 parts. If you search:
oprah and lance armstrong the worldwide exclusive - part 1
oprah and lance armstrong the worldwide exclusive - part 2
oprah and lance armstrong the worldwide exclusive - part 3
oprah and lance armstrong the worldwide exclusive - part 4

You should come up with it.

The links below seem to be working as the moment, but for how long I don't know.

coldinthesun · 18/01/2013 20:26

But I don't know if they fit together perfectly - different users. None seem to have all the parts up as far as I can find.

difficultpickle · 18/01/2013 20:51

Armstrong sued the Sunday Times and got £1m in damages for Kimmage's article, which the ST is now suing him (LA) to recover.
