No narcissism, no disrespect for other riders' achievments, no lame excuses, nothing that was before characteristic for his interviews.
Seriously, what the **** was wrong with this interview?

But man, the amount of idiotic anti-Armstrong topics and posts in this forum is seriously getting out of hand during this TdF. What did he say in this interview that is wrong?
nesocip said:I disliked Armstrong ever since i first heard of him, and especially after he started winning tdf after tdf. Reasons are same as everyone's. Dope, character, etc... I cheered for every single one of his rivals from Zulle, through Jan, Beloki and Basso, all the way to Contador. Most of these guys arent really "likable" in my book, but i cheered for them because i disliked them less than i disliked Armstrong. Actually you can say he is my all-time least favorite rider.

Considering his considerable ego (most bike racers have oversize egos BTW) I think LA has responded to his fortunes this tour with a remarkable amount of humility and humor. Obviously, he isn't anywhere near a threat in the GC, but IMO he has nothing to be ashamed of either.
Personally, I think he should have stayed retired, he had a lot to loose and little to gain by coming out but as already mentioned, when someone is used to being a champion and thrives on competition, they can't just sit around when they think they might still have a chance to compete at the highest level. Look at Schumacher in F1 - LA isn't the first and certainly won't be the last over the hill champion to try a comeback past their prime only to find they are - well - past their prime.

I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her, I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six four Impala

Deagol said:this sounded like so much whining.
Also, the talk of beer and the beach: didn't we hear that last time?
As far as a quiet personal life, does he really even deserve that now? How about a publicly witnessed collapse of his image through the current investigation.
