I interview and interrogate people for a living. I tend to agree with Gandalf's take on this.

The video shown of his 2005 SCA deposition is a good comparison point. We all know he was lying during that depo and his body language in that depo video was indicative of that. Body language is very different in this interview. You want to see textbook lying with corresponding body language? Watch Roger Clemens' 60 Minutes interview.

Sure... his answers are guarded and calculated and he's not being 100% candid but he's not blatantly lying his ass off or anything. He and his lawyers could easily predict the questions Oprah would ask. It's not rocket science.

I 100% believe he's holding off on naming names and throwing people under the boss until he can get in front of WADA/USADA/Whoever. He has nothing to gain from outing everyone on Oprah.

Calculated. It's like a dance, almost. She came out strong at the start, imo, to hook the audience with those "yes or no" questions. Now it's a matter of how much to share and what details. There isn't enough time in this interview to go into specifics. I would like to have an iPhone recording in the car ride on the way home from this hotel after the interview.

Oprah is throwing him softballs and letting him control the interview, which is exactly what he wants. This is pathetic.

Agreed. I find this entertaining as well, but she's not pushing him on a thing. He should be on his heels but he's not. He's way too comfortable. The point of the interview was to confess (to a certain, limited, extent) so the fact that he's confessing isn't a surprise or a success for her. Come on, Oprah, you know what we need.... "You want the truth??? You can't handle the truth!!..."

Part 2 tomorrow night remember. I'm hoping there is more substance tomorrow.

You guys are delusional. Do you think Oprah gives a shit about the outcome of this story? She has the ear of presidents. She's a journalist for chrissakes, and is probably already thinking about her next big interview. She got out of him what nobody else could.

What time is "part 2" tomorrow?

In this teaser, she says she's going to say (to LA), "Some people think you're only doing this so you can get back into the sport."
