It appears he was definitely prepped by his lawyers on how to answer. The pauses, looking up, etc. I sense he wants to say a lot more than what what she is asking, but, he's reining it in.

He just said he didn't read Tyler hamiltons book

There has to be scripting involved. Oprah needed to know where the interview was going to go beforehand.

FTW!!

Yes or No: you've been waiting to use that one

I'll take it a step further and say that those pauses and "ums" and stuff with him looking around are intentional. It's a technique used to make it look like you're putting thought into a scripted answer.

why do they have straws in their water glasses? I like the pottery on the set

No doping since 2005 BULLSHIT!!!! He still wants to race...

And while this and another hoax story is going on, Congress is looking at stricter gun laws. What is the bigger picture?

Why is this coming out now?

He made sure to say he didn't read Tylers book. If Oprah's smart she will stop telling lance what she read in the book and ask if that's true. He doesn't seem to like to validate his claims... like not outright admitting the syringes ....and now he says he didn't dope in 2009...is he trying to avoid statute of limitations?

maybe but she's called him on semantics - which should cover every possible loophole.

He cheated and relished in the victories that came with it. Do you ever see a kid that got away with taking a cookie from the cookie jar saying "one is enough". I really can't stand this guy, yet I watch.

I just couldn't swallow the "2005 was the last time." It just didn't sit right. Can't put my finger on it, but...

If he lied in the past, he'll lie now...

It seems to me he wants to say more.....and he just said he did not dope after 2005 due to the bio passport....but he finished 3rd not that far behind Contador in 2009. Is that even physically possible to be in the same zip code as Contador sans dope? His 2009 Giro results I almost believe to be clean. But by the 2009 TdF he was right up there again!

What's the deal with Oprah's left puffy eye?

Never mind an approaching new fiscal cliff. This kinda sucks. I hope everybody feels better. How anti-climatic.

FTW!!

Yes or No: you've been waiting to use that one


I'm still trying to figure out what FTW stands for...

Everyone stopped in 2006. Didn't you read all the affidavits.

and guess what....WADA's ban could be lifted after 8 years...its now 2013

By the way, this is much better than watching Kona online on Ironman.com and posting on ST. WTC's IT department needs to take input from Oprah's IT department. Oprah's servers are not choking and freezing up under the load from the viewers.

Hmmm, life down to 8 years.
2005 + 8 years = 2013 . . .

Once a liar, always a liar!

"...yet I watch."

I'm with you. I personally have no ill feelings to LA. I've had my moments where I've let others down and lied about it, then later made it right. I have faults.

It's just this has gone on so long, while many of us watched, mesmerized, as he won seven TDF's in a row, just smoking most of the peloton while they (like Ulrich) hung their head in disbelief as he rocketed away on another mountain stage. Now, we are seeing he (and others) had extra help with EPO. Granted, he still trained his butt off, and props for that.

FTW - For The Win.

Pity I can't watch this - In Australia, At work :(

"I'm not the most believable person in the world right now."

Come on buddy, don't be so hard on yourself.
