Lance Armstrong Interview

"Doping affects your mind. It doesn't make you feel high. There are behaviours when you've got those chemicals running through your body that serve you on the bike but which, when you're not. I've only just recovered physically. I'm only now getting my levels back," Ben Foster says in an interview

Lance Armstrong, 43, was stripped of his Tour titles and given a life-ban from cycling by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) in 2012, having denied for years he was a drugs cheat. The cancer-survivor eventually made a public confession in a television interview with US chat show host Oprah Winfrey in 2013.

After years of denials, Armstrong first admitted doping during his career in an interview with Oprah Winfrey in January 2013.

After years of denials, cancer-survivor Lance Armstrong - who has been stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles won between 1999-to-2005 - finally admitted in January he'd used performance-enhancing drugs in an interview with US television personality Oprah Winfrey.

The Texan rider, who insisted for years that he did not take performance-enhancing drugs, was stripped of his Tour titles and banned from the sport for life. He then admitted in a television interview that he used a cocktail of banned substances, including the blood booster EPO, testosterone and blood transfusions, to win the Tour.

After admitting in a television interview last month that the titles he won from 1999-2005 were helped by performance-enhancing substances, Armstrong said he would cooperate with anti-doping officials. He repeated that offer on Wednesday even as he made it clear he would not go through USADA to do so.

Travis Tygart has said that the former cyclist - despite finally coming clean about his PED use for the first time - lied about several key points during the Jan 14 interview with the TV talk show host.

Lance Armstrong lied in his confessional interview with Oprah Winfrey and the shamed cyclist has two weeks to finally come clean, the US anti-doping official who pursued him for years has said.

Armstrong grabbed the headlines in the past few weeks with his "no-holds-barred interview" with TV mogul Oprah Winfrey.

The 18-time Grand Slam singles champion said she didn't watch Armstrong's U.S. TV interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which he admitted to doping during his seven Tour de France wins, because she'd already made up her mind about him.

Thursday's much-anticipated interview ran against "American Idol" on the mainstream Fox network, which drew 16.2 million viewers during its two-hour broadcast, Variety reported.

The feud began when Armstrong labelled the Italian a "liar" in a July 2003 interview with French paper Le Monde. Simeoni sued for defemation, demanding 100,000 euros he said would be given to charity.

Key quotes from the second part of disgraced US cyclist Lance Armstrong's interview with talk show host Oprah Winfrey: I can look at what I did -- cheating to win bike races, lying about it, bullying people. Of course you're not supposed to do those things. There's another moral to this story. I just think it was about that ride and about losing...

Winfrey also drew Armstrong out on his ex-wife, Kristin, whom he claimed knew just enough about both the doping and lying to ask him to stop. He credited her with making him promise that his comeback in 2009 would be drug-free.

Ahead of Thursday's telecast of his interview with talk show icon Oprah Winfrey, where he is expected to come clean on doping, the figure of between $100 million and $125 million has been widely circulated.
