Lance Armstrong:
Interview on OWN- Admitted that first started doping in the mid-90s. Emma Oriley-"she's one of the people that I have to apologize to." When people were telling the truth about him doping, he'd go on the attack and call them lairs even though he knew 100% that they were telling the truth. Says that fame made him more of a jerk and a humanitarian. He had a "ruthless desire to win," says he put himself in trouble. He viewed it as very simple, he had things that were very beneficial for endurance sports and he justified using them because he thought maybe he was low on testosterone because he had testicular cancer. He views the situation as one big lie that he kept repeating.
