Disgraced Armstrong admits doping

[Jazzy]

American cyclist Lance Armstrong has for the first time admitted taking performance-enhancing drugs during all seven of his Tour de France victories.



After years of denials, the 41-year-old Texan told chat show host Oprah Winfrey that he had used the blood-boosting agent EPO, as well as taking testosterone, human growth hormone, cortisone and blood doping.



In the much-anticipated interview Armstrong, who last October was stripped of all his Tour titles, said that at the time of his drug-taking he did not feel it was wrong.



He said he did not feel bad about taking performance-enhancing drugs, nor did he feel it was cheating, as he was creating a level playing field with other riders who took drugs.



He said: I looked up the definition of a cheat: to gain an advantage. I didn't view it that way. I viewed it as a level playing field.



But he said he had now changed his opinion, telling her: I'll spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and trying to apologise to people.

Is this a man you would ever trust again?

Sure, I guess.

It's not like he used any of the prize money to conquer the world or something.

Once a cheat, always a cheat is what I say.

Armstrong's 2001 Nike ad speaking out against doping.



Should prove rather amusing now considering what we know now about how much he is against doping.



The worst thing about him is he gave people hope then crushed that hope by showing the world he's just another hypocrite. The worst thing is he is not sorry in the slightest about what he has done only that he got caught.
