Lance appearing on Oprah next week

[HiCadence]

He won't do it imo he'l spout the usual ******** of how he was falsely accused.

 

[blackcat]

It's the narrow eyes, close together that do it for me.

Someone on this forum mentioned before that in the animal kingdom the predators have eyes close together to home in on their prey whilst the nicer more friendly animals have their eyes spaced wider apart to survey the Savanah.

should be breeding with brandy, and offspring eye ration may be symmetrical

To Oprah's credit, she did put some sweatdrops on Marion's forehead.

Jones: "I believed it was flaxseed oil. He told me it was vitamins. I never knew i was taking anything illegal".

Oprah: "that's really hard to believe"

The Clinic wants blood, Oprah wants ratings: the two are aligned. What's dull is to hear someone duck questions and tell a story everyone's already heard. I think (hope!) Oprah will be quick to throw the cancer card straight back in his face, "What do you now say to all the cancer survivors you've lied to?"

I think Matthew McConaughey and Lance might step out of the closet. Two Wildmen from Austin. Austin Wildemen. Will be McConaughey's only Oscar worthy performance.

 

[cineteq]

So apparently Oprah is long time friend with Lance..

Nothing to see here.

If anything, Oprah is not stupid. She has advisors, and I doubt she would want to play Lance's friend, knowing what's been going on. Her reputation is also on the line with this interview. I'm expecting some tough questions here and there, but expecting self serving answers by Lance all the way.

Spot on and hilarious

 

[blackcat]

Admitting doping will not have any of the race ban rolled back tho. Bans are reduced for cooperating with investigations, so he needs to talk about how it all happened.
The money trail and the drug transport trail, JB, Ferrari, all them.
And since he is a convicted ringleader (not alledged, the body which he gave jurisdiction to ruled on him) throwing a few minions under the teambus is not going to cut it.

I just cannot see it happening.

ratty

yeahl you are required to grass up a hierarchy, not grass on the underlings. Armstrong as the Big Cahuna aint got any chips to bargain.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The whole thing is turning into a farce.
Meanwhile Phat Pat and Hein are planning the next expansion....

All the while the Guardian gets down on its needs before Sky and all those clean Brits.

Nothing like a bit of hypocrisy.

 

[Mrs John Murphy]

Is it just me but is there something wrong with this picture?

I dunno. I hear some duelling banjos

dunno about you, but I think that is Sherwen's son. Look at the facial features.

Lance is going to announce that he is AGAIN suffering Cancer ! Having announced this , Oprah will go SOFT ! Most of her viewers are normally women but with over a week of Major News Network publicity , there will be a huge number of Road Race Cycling Fans , keen to hear his answers to the USADA circus .
Twitterati following of 3.8+million , bodes well for Oprah having a record breaking event . Some of the questions , i would address are to be found on parrabuddy.blogspot.com . Oprah does not have the ability to conduct the type of interview that will get the results that so many Cycling Fans require ! With the interview being in his home , Oprah will be following his agenda .
Smoke and Mirrors would best describe the result of this event ! Pity the Justice Dept. will not be allowed to participate , there is most definitely a resumption of the Grand Jury , perhaps earlier than the April/May i predicted last year .

 

[Fortyninefourteen]

The fake smile says it all.

Oprah looks very happy and gay.

SHE'S NOT GAY..........much.

 

[Angliru]

That's a good point, to those claiming he's going to continue to deny I doubt Oprah would have him on if that was the case.

He's likely to draw a very large audience, probably the largest she's had since her network tv show went off the air. The numbers for her network are more than a little disappointing for her and having Armstrong on there will be a boost that she needs . The content of the show, the depth of the questions asked are not her priority and never have been. She's all about schmoozing with her guests and making them feel comfortable, thus Armstrong conducting his interview from his palatial estate. I imagine there will be a tour of his home and grounds as part of the show. It will be shameless and nauseating.

How many of those are real?

No question off limits. Sure.

Plenty of answers off limits: " I can't answer that due to pending litigation"

....un mangeux d'marde.

Apparently this interview has all been done.

 

[Oldman]

I'll bet he doesn't confess at all, he will probably skirt the doping issue and just talk about USADA, UCI, ASO, his history, and Livestrong.

one thing that confuses me is all the talk about giving back the prize money for first place. everybody knows that when you win a GT, you give all of your prize money to your team that rode the race to split. how are they going to get that money back from those 50+ riders?

Another myth. He had a bad reputation on Motorola for not sharing in prize money. He'd give his "A" team jackers a cut and let the other guys dangle. If they beefed about it, they were gone. The money is gone, too.

Salvodelli is still owed money and has repeated it lots of times. I bet wonderboy and wonderhog kept lots of the prize money.

Dope is expensive...

For the record; 'interview' in one sentence with 'Oprah' is a contradictio in terminus.

It will be a grand show.
