Re: Lance Armstrong
I'd agree with you, but that's not what the Team Sky statement says.
It says the interviews brought up nothing that would have required him to leave..... Why leave then? To me that means no golden parachute either. I agree it would have been difficult to avoid at the time, and I've been waiting for this to come out, but I've more respect for people like Millar who admit it than those who continue to not admit it. |

Yes, Millar has come clean about his wrong doings, and is trying to do his bit to get the sport cleaned up. TBH I think it would be VERY hard to find someone who was was a professional cyclist in the 90's who wasn't involved or knew about doping on their team Only person I can think of is Chris Boardman

Re: Lance Armstrong
As posted up in the cycling thread
Oprah tweeted that Lance was 'Prepared for it' so I presume he didn't say as much as he should, so in the words of the BBC reprter, he conducted the interview himself, rather than Oprah grilling him. She was apparently mesmerised by him. Probably why he chose to give his interviewed to her

Re: Lance Armstrong
I liked what Nicole Cooke said about it all. There was a good article on what she said in a few papers but this short video clip sums it up nicely, I think.
