Thats why I hoped it would be picked up by a network - so I can record it not watch it live on the webcast. The servers will melt under the load - Viewing could run into 100 million such is the interest worldwide.

It's funny how all the banned trolls from here are now posting on the articles on the main site. The David Walsh questions article is filled with idiotic posts. Funny.

You should see the cr@p they post on Oprah's site in the Armstrong comments.
Btw it is NOT the real RaceRadio in the comments...

Several here predict an Oprah confession months ago. While I am not surprised, I am not so sure it is a wise decision.
1) Lance Armstrong is a Psychopath and as such, always acts in his own interests. He also receives what is at best, dubious legal advice.
2) While sources claim his desire is to both clear the LAF's name and return to competition, I do not think this is the case.
3) Other see this as cutting financial loses (SCA, Sunday Times and others). Confess, settle and move on...
I believe, the real issue is that Lance Armstrong strongly feel s that he may be facing jail time. He is hoping that an Oprah confession will be enough to may a potential prosecutor think twice about filing changes.

Takin' out the trash
And Outside Online did the same thing to an imposter (probably the same one) posting in the Mike Anderson: My Life With Lance Armstrong article.
edit; It looks like Outside Online did not delete the fake RR account. They just removed all the recent rants. You can see some of the type of things he posted earlier at Outside and Cyclismas at this link.
The Oprah announcement article had the impostor ejected and his comments removed.mewmewmew13 said:

I don't know about you guys, but I'm looking forward to the Oprah fest, no matter how it turns out. Got an ice cold 6-pack of Budweiser in the fridge, and will make a huge plate fully loaded nachos for the occasion. My beloved cat will enjoy sardines and catnip. Of course it helps that I have Friday as well as the weekend off! Oh, the simple pleasures.

Yawn. I am so over this hasbeen and will not be participating in this farce even as an observer. Oprah is no where nearly incisive enough and anyway any insight I gain into Lances character will only make me feel icky.

Oh, I can imagine, a potpouri of stupidity and fanship. I'm sure there's quite a bit of Wonderboy ball licking in those posts.
On fb, one of the cycling mags had a post about "thoughts on Wonderboy being on Oprah", and the borderline *** fans were STILL going on about him "never testing positive", how he supposedly doped on "an even playing field, everyone was doing it",(and my favorite)" big deal, he trained harder than anyone else, just leave him alone".
Awful, just awful.

Ahh so it appears as if I will be proved right again. In the reports I have read in the dailies today, quoting the New York Times and USA Today, a source very close to Armstrong has claimed that the Texan will confess (partially) to doping on Oprah and will say he’s sorry (!), but will not provide details as to his sources, methods and the stuff he was on.
Now I said the only reason a confession of his would be worth listening to, would be if he came totally clean: what were his sources, methods and, above all, the stuff he was on? I also said he was only doing this to try to redirect the focus of the narrative, in his own base interests, while taking us all for fools. I hope people aren’t stupid enough to bite and that it totally backfires on him, for what is surely a gross miscalculation, as he’s lost all moral purchase and public appeal.
At any rate I’ve been saying for years, because it’s what I’ve been hearing for years, that Armstrong was no ordinary doper, nor even just a quite astute one: but that he had unique access to certain drugs before they went more mainstream, and then when they did he was already on to the newest thing. This partly because of his cancer treatments, which gave him such privileged access: for example, it’s reported in Hamilton’s book (p. 250) that a source familiar with the federal investigation “said an account that Lance had in the late 1990’s gained him access to a blood booster called HemAssist, a new drug that was in clinical trials at the time. ‘If somebody was going to design something better than EPO, this would be the ideal product,’ said Dr. Robert Przybelski, who was director of hemoglobin therapeutics at Baxter Healthcare, which developed the drug.” This can only be linked to his cancer legacy.
When Hamilton was first given blood transfusions, LA had already been given them for the past years, which would seem to indicate that, at that point, he was now onto the next thing in the arms race. It would now appear that cancer truly ended up being an athletic benefit to Armstrong, though not for weight loss, but in providing him blood boosting pharmaceuticals to which only he had special access, which was continued and reinforced when he became the sport’s Godfather. Always one step ahead of the competition, including his own teammates.
This is why the Oprah interview, if resulting thus, will only be another farce within the farce.

I am sure she will be incisive enough to know he lied to her previously, many times which means, there will be a certain amount of indignation on her part if he is honest in his responses. She has no reason at all to go easy on him, it will just make her look stupid. When she re-interviewed the author James Frey about his mostly fictionalised best selling memoir. She was duly ****ed off and did not let him off the hook at all. A similar interview would be worth it.
