The problem is not with him doping. For Lance Armstrong, during the 7-year window when he won every Tour de France, 87% of the top-10 finishers (61 of 70) were confirmed dopers or suspected of doping.
The problem is with how he attacked people, the way he treated people. Thats what he did wrong.
But i dont think we should vilify him for the rest of his life. Obviously hes not a very compassionate guy, but most top athletes seem to have a level of narcissism. At some point we can forgive someone for their mistakes, that doesnt mean you have to like them.
Precisely
@@screwston713SUC I forgive him 100%
Down The Center I’m European. I don’t vilify him, he’s turned in his criminally obtained medals. Case closed. Lance is probably a good guy. But there are many good guys making wrong decisions.
The people defending him are probably unaware of his attempts to ruin people's lives. He went on screwing with people's live to mask who he really was until he was completely exposed, and had nowhere else to run. Probably would continued his sociopathic behavior until he died if the mountain of evidence wasn't publicized. I grew up a huge fan, watched all of his tour wins, read his autobiography......but unfortunately he's a vile person. One of his biggest talents is convincing people he is a genuine and good person. People should really look up everything he did (not just the doping) before defending this guy.
I still don't believe he walked on the moon.
thats an old joke unless u were the same guy written it ;)
Or rode there. An average pro gets in 10,000 miles per year I've read. The moon on a good day is 225,623 miles away. Twenty two years and six months of pedaling. Given the length of his career, Lance would be on the way back.
Ignore the others......that is very funny 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trust me he was so high he must of
This dudes a great case study for Psychology students.
Why?
Yes he’s a very interesting character
Yes definitely, he has a huge head with whatever it takes attitude.
If he knew he could get away with it, he’d do again. U can see it in his eyes.
He says he would do it again and not change a thing, even knowing he would get caught again. The guy is F*cking crazy.
@@JumpingWatermelons not crazy. Understand the game
@@sabra1066 Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Armstrong was the one defining the game.
He did got away with it.😉
Good interview. I am currently battling stage III testicular cancer. Lance reached out to me through a peripheral connection and offered me great advice and hope. There is a lot of good in this man. He is a fighter.
He is doper and cheater when it comes to sport competition not good. He hurt the sport of cycling he didn't help and that's not cool.
Chris Batson here’s an idea - maybe people aren’t all good or all bad.
Lance! Hope one day you will be restituted to your 7 TDF Victories...
@@chrisbatson3402 at the time it was part of the sport, you had to go to 20th place to find a non doper. not condoning it but look at the situation pragmatically. He realized it was a gun fight and he jumped in headfirst. hes a d*ckhead for how he treated those close to him who were uncomfortable with covering for him, but that same vehemence is how you get 7u world titles in the hardest sport event. maybe the lesson is winning isnt everything. but to argue hes a cheater whenn 99% of the field is doing the same stuff is a weak argument
Alex, thanks for the perspective... Best of luck with your cancer treatments.
“You can’t win the Tour de France on Mineral water.”
*Especially when most other competitors are on a bicycle.*
I drink 17 pH water and run faster than the average speed in the TdF
Thats such a great quote. Only thing is, most are on a bicycle... Only most of them? Im still waiting for the unicycle race.
Hope you're good.
Thats such a great quote. Only thing is, most are on a bicycle... Only most of them? Im still waiting for the unicycle race.

Not on Mineral Water but on a Bicycle you can.
You'd be surprised just how much of a boost injecting pure bicycle can give you.
Having just watched the 30 for 30 doc, and rewatching this interview again, leaves me with the exact same feeling - everytime I hear Lance explain the past, I have this overhelming need to take a shower....
he made the tough questios, but he was kind, non judgemental and let the public to arrive at their own conclusions.....Top if the line interviewer and journalist
The system was eventually going to produce someone like Lance. Inevitable.
Wow, yes. That gives perspective.
Still does...
froome, contador and so on..
@@pebberjack6026 froome the vegan guy?
Competing at the tour the france without doping is like competing at the Mr Olympia without steroids.
Exactly!
Everyone bitching at him like there wasn't somebody close by coming in second place
Not really
Its like running for the president of USA without brain damage.
@Lee Shackelford you made this fact up. But I'll give you some names - Carlos Sastre has never been associated with or to any doping scandal. Cadel Evans too. David Montcoutie was known to have not doped on his team as he has a fear of needles. There's 3 top contendors alone.
Armstrong even said Sastre winning a TdF was the impetus for his comeback, as he was so scathing of Sastre's ability he felt he could still beat him... when actually Sastre winning the Tour was a sign it might finally be heading towards being clean, even if that meant the times up the mountains were slower than before.
But also with Lance, its not even about the doping. Its about everything else. Ivan Basso doped, Alejandro Valverde doped, Alberto Contador probably doped - none of them publicly shamed and ruined the careers and lives of multiple people, blackmailed the governing body and intimidated a legal witness.
What really bothers me is what happened to Pantani. Who cares about Armstrong, he’s ALIVE.
True... I mean it is just a tragedy that he snorted half of Bolivia’s national export and OD’ed in his hotel room. Yet the majority of those riders are still with us, and some are even team Directors. A filthy sport, no doubt.
@@wadsworth2351 really you were there next to him. You have no idea what each competitor is doing. It’s just ignorant conjecture.
How many court rulings on other modern day competitors? He did not get to go on Oprah. Read the other real world comments. You are not in Kansas anymore Toto
@@joshrandal6982 Italian maffia kicked him out of the Giro 99, that's what did him in.
@@blackmamba3060 that’s extremely interesting if true. Is that a conspiracy theory?
I was not a good person and it took losing everything to realize it. I am not yet at the point where 'I would not change a thing' but I do get that I CAN'T change a thing so it's useless to feel as much regret and shame as I do. I really believe him when he says he values the lessons he has learned because I do too. I might not yet be a good person (I'm learning) but I am no longer a bad one.

Enhance Notstrong
I believe all people have these character defects. You just see yours. Most of us deny them.
You've been fooled by a sociopath if you believe anything he says is sincere. Why didn't he admit that Betsy Landrieu was telling the truth about what happened in his hospital room when he had cancer when he was on the Oprah show if he's so remorseful then? Dude's a stone cold sociopath and idiots like you believe he's sincere.
@@JustAThought155 I call everyone dude. It started as a joke but became a habit.
And I’m not easily offended :)
“Everyone in cycling dopes himself,” Jaques Antquil said in a 1971 article. “Those who claim they don’t are liars.”

Alertness is part of performance - especially in boxing.
This man saved my husband's life... My husband was motivated by this individual and got healthy, riding bicycles, because of him... Was riding in a tournament when he had a heart attack. Because of the cardiac vascular collaterals he built up (we are both RNs) he avoided major heart damage. Thank you, Lance. I am sorry that Lance's life ended up tarnished but we all make mistakes and he is not the only one. Just like nurses, he was held to a higher standard and had a long fall down. We are all human and get caught up in being the best and being competitive. He still did great things for many people. I will always look up to him... Thank you, Lance.... You are human, just like the rest of us. I am also a cancer survivor and he made a difference in my life, too.
Deborah Marie Owings
Pedal on. Cycling's great ... for the body, and relaxes my mind.
idiot
Saved by a liar.
John M they all cheat.
Glad you and your husband survived health scares. However, what Lance Armstrong did was unforgivable! His defiance and arrogance prior to his "confession" were despicable. Armstrong publicly attacked those who told the truth about him. We are all human and make mistakes, but Lance took deception and cheating to a whole new level!
Armstrong is exactly like Bjarne Riis: He hardly has any conscience and does not regret a thing. Reaching your goal of being #1 in competitive racing trumps everything else and must include whatever is necessary, regardless of the consequences - for your body, for other people, like competitors etc.
He’s right that if all you had was drugs without the insane training, grit, research, and teamwork day in and out, you will come in last. Being exposed for drugs indeed doesn’t nullify the rest of his incredible cycling achievements, especially when most everyone else was doing the same.
Amen
Right, people wanna associate all his accomplishments with juice smh
@aroundandaround his results should absolutely be nullified...especially if there was at least one competitor who played by the rules!
Everyone in professional cycling uses peds
@@toejamisgreat Everyone? Cool it with the hyperbole, please! Not everyone, perhaps most! If there was even 1 person who had competed honestly (which I am sure there was), then cheating the system was unacceptable.

About 200 km's everyday for 3 weeks up and over mountain passes . It seems almost impossible to achieve the times they do today without Doping.
@Caedan It's not though, its just as bad if not worse.
It impossible without pain killers even less roids
@@unknownobserver7250 there is no possible way for you to know that.
se siguen dando hermano y de la buena jajajajaj
It's doable. Just not as fast.
Still a 7-time winner. It still requires ability, drive, tactics, and almost everyone else was doping too, Lance was the best of them.
Truth!
That’s a big call man
JZ
Lol, you clearly don't know cycling at all. It's ok, but you should talk about it, because you're making a fool of yourself..
yes, but unlike those other cheaters lance decided to destroy the lives of those who realised the sport was sick and they wanted to come clean, that is what makes him the worst cheater in history
What a great interview! And it must be said as well, what a great interviewer! Usually I find myself complaining about stupid interviewers with stupid questions.
Yup I like that dude he was a commentator on MNF
@@redfirebonus9408 mike tirico. will be doing the olympics as well. he’s great
its true its such a fair and meaningful interview
Enhance Notstrong
@@steroidsR4losers yet you are still here being entertained and giving him space in your head for free. You’re welcome.
Doping , ok , but the way he fought the widow of a fellow cyclist and ruined other peoples life to keep his secret was inhuman and discusting .
He is a narcissist and i think he can't help that condition and i feel for him as its something you're born with. He's conflicted with it but its part of his personality. Thats why he replied to the interviewer with a answer that confirmed that. He will screw a friend over in business before long because narcissism make him feel more superior or worthy often for no rational position. A higher position or a greater share with no arguable standpoint or reason. The ego is constantly hungry.
He had to continue with the lie. Coming clean to the entire world wasn’t an option. A person that lies isn’t a narcissist
@@jimparsons4312 Of course narcs lie they just do it more to try to convince everbody that they're doing the right thing. Its about ego boosting and good or bad deeds whatever it takes. You see the best community leaders and the harshest bosses all roled into the one person.
*disgusting
They wanted a monster in sport and on the bike ..so , hè became one !
Spoiler alert: Next stage for Lance is spray-on tans and no sleep.
ha ha ha ha ha!
LOL!
Blahahah! Funny but true. I could see him pulling a Kenny Roger’s
That actually is funny 😄
Great joke
This guy cycled to the moon give him a break.
He cheated--plain and simple. He doesn't deserve a break.
@@zblumenfeld everyone was, just like all nfl players used to
@@zblumenfeld guess who's got some sense of humor
@@zblumenfeld Dude if you or I were on dope we still wouldn't have a chance to win a single race, so he deserves at least some credit. And a break.
He’s ruined cycling forever . The guys a piece of garbage
Papa John and Armstrong should do a podcast 1 on 1, would be very interesting to see what they share
Tirico did a really good job here. He asked a few difficult questions but they never felt forced or combative. I was also impressed that he was willing to admit that NFL guys are on drugs, too. Cycling is no more dirty than any other sport. The other sports just do a better job of sweeping doping under the rug.
Tirico was AWESOME, AGREED
Plus the pay for cycling, when Lance was starting out, was so small, no one cared if they cheated.
Anthony Peterson
Yes, the ring where they wrestle is always clean.
DXchulo I think cycling is or was dirtier than a lot of other sports, just because it has been professional for so long and has a really long history of doping, and doping is super beneficial to cycling performance above more skill based sports. But yeah for sure cycling is also the best at testing and dopers get exposed more publicly. I
"Cycling is no more dirty than any other sport." -- this is completely false.
The ball on this guy...
LMAO 😂
Michael Toomer good lord this had me rolling😂
underrated
and he’s still in that river in Egypt
I see what you did there.
Tyler Hamilton's book gives a pretty good overview of those times, the need to use performance enhancing substances and techniques to compete at top levels, and what appeared to me to be a pretty unbiased picture of Armstrong and other top echelon bike racers and those they rode for.
Hamilton for the most part agrees with Armstrong when he says "we did what we had to do", and it wasn't simple. Not by a long shot!
He quotes Armstrong describing top racers as "stone-cold killers" when it came to team politics, and Armstrong seemed to fall into that category.
As is pretty common, maybe it's a good idea not to learn too much about your heros. They may not remain your heros.
That is one painful sport.
He stabbed his best friends in the back, cheated on his sport, lied to his fans. What a hero!!!

Thanks Josh. You too my brother!
Drugs or no drugs, this guy gave inspiration to so many people! He is saving lives! And that`s most important!
And he is doing his best to repent for his past mistakes so people should just give him the benefit of the doubt
Until his teammates came out with the truth about his doping, lying, cheating, narcissism and bullying
@@susisiebert6664 Everyone makes mistakes!
@@TheShoshie10 Yeah but I don't think the problem is doping it's how he treated people who were right and accurately called him out.
Doping or not, the guy took cycling to the mainstream
in the US, cycling was mainstream in Europe already.
No, he took it down, made cycling something to despise.
Only in the US !!! Europe has a over 100 year long cycling tradition already.
LOL. Cycling is probably the 3d sport in Europe behind Football and Tenis. If it ain't mainstream i don't know what is.
No he didn’t lol 😂
Many americans always with their obsession with succes... with being the best. No, living light, living easy and kind to people also brings happiness. Greetings to everyone.
I have my own opinion on what and how he did and most importantly how arrogant he was back then.(Very)
On the other hand he was the one who got me out of bed @4:30, he was the one who made me ride like a maniac and lose 30+kg and he was the reason I kept saying myself, if a cancer survivor can win TdF I can take on anything.
I cant count how many times I have ridden in freezing winter or how many times I went to the gym so early that nobody was there. Funny enough I enjoyed most of it as I felt extremely strong.
Long story short: It might as well have been an illusion as I never met him, but for me he was and he is a great inspiration.
No you're wrong...YOU got yourself out of bed at 4.30am and YOUR interest in cycling got you to your goal. You could pick any number of champions of the time or the past to inspire you. Lance cant hold a candke to Greg lemond
@google Lavon Affair lemonds political leanings has nothing to do with his past sports cycling career success. Lance is a democrat these days.
@google Lavon Affair they did not care about doping in lemond's era...like armstrong: you ve never proved me pos, i do not use. same before him
L139 X Its outcomes like yours that make this whole process .. can I say .. worthwhile. I support and applaud you.
@oneviwatara thumbs up on foundation fraud, probably 90% of all are fraudulent. A place to hide $ and use as you see fit, massive fraud.
This makes me so sad, I really looked up to him. smh I feel like no one is clean nowadays
There is NO TOP SPORT WITHOUT DOPING. So get over it.
Rude
Why? Everybody is on ped.. he isn idiot to compete without ped
Everyone's on steroids - nate diaz
Everyone is on it all your favourite athletes are on it
@@cephasmakuzva Usain bolt is clean idec
Good interview and I thought his answers were thoughtful and honest.
I still admire you Lance, you still inspire me. Youre still my motivation to stay healthy and keep riding my bike.
you admire cheaters then
@mr arican you admire scumbags
Stay healthy! LOL
Keanu Reeves should play as squirrel girl in the mcu
he's not completely worthless, he can always serve as a bad example
Crime pays...
I meet this guy at Old Pueblo MTB race in Tucson Arizona, as Italian I ask him question about the fight with Pantani and he talk very nice about him , for me was enough to take a picture with this strong man.
Great interview. Nice to watch something beyond the usual cliched interview that is so typical of sports. A little uncomfortable to watch. Keep these coming.
Stuart Scott just before Lance’s Oprah Winfrey interview...
“I’m very grateful" for Armstrong's anti-cancer efforts: "I don't care about a bike race. I'm fighting cancer and trying to stay alive for my daughters. ... (Armstrong's) efforts that affected millions of people with cancer is his legacy. And you're not going to argue me off that."
Love that sentiment that you express so well! good luck!
I agree with you. Sport is pastime; cancer is life changing. But fools will persist with unforgiveness and ignore the good that it brought.
God bless, I pray that you receive healing.
Fighting it myself Bro, still attempting to ride, though my body tells me different..Stay strong 💪and prayers 🙏for you.
His perseverance was unbelievable. He beat cancer and came back to win another title (Lance rode his bike 40 miles/day. Cancer doesn't want anything to do with that). ....I wish your cancer be gone.
You know that after 2005 most of the money did not go to the cancer science? It went in armstrongs pocket for giving speeches and for advertisment. After 2005 his foundarion did nothing for fighting cancer!
Lance made watching cycling exciting. I dont think i have watched it since
Exciting*
What you are saying, and I know that I am correct. You loved Armstrong but merely liked cycling if that.
@@commonsensethecynosure1639 What are you saying? And i dont care if im right.
This is some dope content. Good job nbc
He admits he cheated, but he talks as if he didn’t. Shifting responsibility. Wonder if that’s understandable since the UCI (international cycling organization) encouraged & hid the doping to increase the stature & revenue. Wonder if he sees himself as a pawn in UCI’s game, one that now has to pay the price.
He disnt cheat he levelled the playing field....its not chearing if everyones doing it
Like Jan ulrich said lance was just better at doping than the rest. If you didn’t dope back then you would make it to the pros
In my youth Lance was my cycling hero, still is to a degree, not gona lie, hurt when this came out.
The guy could ride,even without drugs. Cant take that away
There is no way he is the only one. Probably a more level playing field than you realize.

He was on something during this interview.
The constant moving of hands while talking is a sign of a psychopath

yea something kinda weird like hes nervous or something else
Definitely did some EPO before the interview
Dope interview!
I'm very happy that my bike frame says Seven-Time Tour de France Champion Lance Armstrong.
The Team Postal years were the most incredible years for me of watching this race. Especially when they were riding in an echelon formation in a cross wind- some images are burned in my mind. It’s just not the same.... drugs or not, that was some exciting racing to watch! The amount of training required, nutrient intake...
Agree, i stopped watching
I could not believe the post office sponsered him and gave him no coverage. i don't think he did anything wrong. the reality and the truth is that was the race game at the time. i am sure that the top racers are still doing this. it was political. the nanny state ... bobby fischer died a man without a country because he only wanted to play chess against a russian.

That sounds racist, how many black riders were on the team? ZERO! ZERO BLACK RIDERS! Not one single member on the US Postal team.....
When are the ROIDERS going to be PROSECUTED for STEROIDS?
ROIDERS are LAW BREAKING UNHEALTHY FAKES!
Stay natural buddy!
Looked up to this dude a lot. He was my childhood hero and large part of why I got into biking. A large reason why biking is what it is today in the US IMO. Because of this his story is so complicated. He impacted cancer patients, gave them hope. For the sake of a big fat lie. I still can't believe him sometimes even when he IS telling the truth because he is just so good at keeping the same face. Whether it's the truth or a lie. Sad.
What do you mean for the sake of a big fat lie? He only told that lie because he had to so he could protect himself. Everyone that was biking was also doing what he was doing, if he wanted to compete he had no other choice to do it. They chose to target him because he was the winner so he had to protect himself by saying he wasn't using the PEDs. He's still a champion, he won all those races fairly. Basically every elite athlete is using some form of PEDs, they all have very good doctors who help them beat the system.
Lance will always be a champion in my eyes. He was targeted in a group of people who were all doing the same thing!!! This guy should remain an inspiration to everyone
Yes
Ridiculous
Even after watching the film Program, I still cannot get my head around it all
I guess he was the best Doper cause he won 7 Tours. He was, and is, a legend .
Well he had the best lawyers according to Tyler Hamilton if everyone was as doped as he was he could never have won anything ;)
@@navylaks2 Yeah right, but then you take away all the doping and ALL the drugs. Like Lance said, a fist to fist fight. I think Lance would have won even greater. He was a beast and the drugs actually made him seem superhuman where drugs on most make them significantly better. Not everyone will shatre the same outcome.
@Boomerang Trotter - I don't answer questions , if you don't know, then I suggest you troll someone else.
@Boomerang Trotter - Fair enough
@@CJTranceAddiction Wrong...The big reason he won is because he had more money then anybody. Just watch his former teamates, Hamilton etc, never did anything when they left us postal
I couldn't do it. How could you keep a trophy on your wall and look at it everyday, knowing you got it by cheating?
It was an even playing field.
Because everyone else was doing the same thing.
Not everyone was doing it. And not everyone who was doing it did it to the same degree and did the same drugs. It wasn't a level playing field.

I’m with that!!
He HURT & RUINED some people. If he's remorseful? Give Greg & Kathy LeMond $5 million, and at least $2 million each to Emma O'Reilly, Stephanie McElvain and husband, Frankie and Betsy Andreu, etc.
I wish him the worst. May he suffer as much as all those who unfairly lost competitions and chances of making their fortunes just because he cheated them out of their hopes and dreams through taking drugs and forcing others to do so.
@@denniscassley2569 Still the best to ever do it.
Thank you for.speaking about your therapy journey!!!!
We all choose the company we keep. I, for one, will not judge Lance. He made his decisions and now is living with them. I hope I have as much courage to deal with my mistakes as he has had dealing with his.
They couldnt give his titles to the guy in second or third because they were doing the same drugs. He's still a hero to me.
^^^^ Salty American who can't accept that the whole time they didn't have the best cyclist. Keep accusing _everyone_ else, that'll make it better. Yeah, that'll mean he _was_ the best, and you can all sleep better at night, still believing USA, USA, USA is superior to the rest of the world.
Doesn't matter who wins at cycling, USA is superior in every single way to any other country on earth. You're the salty one bro.
@@AndreGomes1987 I mean, the person with the highest IQ ever didn't live here. Although knowledge doesn't make you better than anyone in my opinion going by your argument it seems like it would. There are other things different countries are good at too.
Great interview, loved it. Thanks for the video.
Great interview on both sides. Well done gentlemen.
This is a man who has confronted his Shadow.
I feel for his fans.what a heartbreak
He still never mentions the impact of how he treated so many people so cruelly. "I wouldn't change a thing" whoa. He really hasn't come that far.
Was looking for an apology to the Andrieus for starters.
He's still really scummy imo.
Wow... This guy was the first man to ride a bicycle to the moon. Also a legendary trumpet player. What a talent.
@Dominique Roydor Not cheating if everyone is doing it.
@Dominique Roydor Cheating implies an advantage used to secure victory over someone else who operates within the rules of a game or competition. there was no advantage for Armstrong here, it was level playing field. Hence, not cheating. I do appreciate your weak attempts at making me feel guilty, though. Unfortunately the only one being childish here is you. You claim you don't want to meet people who are willing to find ways to get a one-up on their competition in your business dealings. Well, news flash for you, any good businessman or woman will cheat the system to get one over on people. that is how you become successful. Your naive view of the world tells me that you are the one with minimal real world experience. So don't talk to me about maturity when you don't know the first thing about being an adult.
You know I am sick of all the LA apologists he was despicable in trying to destroy people’s lives go away already
Just started taking cycling seriously for the past 3 years and when you really get down on this two wheel gang then you realize that Lance is the 🐐!! Hands down .. spin to win baby
I think Eddy Merckx is the goat, because he was even more dominant and won a lot more races outside the TDF
@@paulbredewoud2304 armstrong was world champ
Armatrong dominated more tdf than merx...he only rode for the tour
@@karl8805 Eddy Merckx is the ultimate 🐐
After a few years of disappointment,today i honestly think that Lance Armstrong was one,if not the best cyclist of all times.
He's a f*** a***
you are crazy !
Niki Luciano agreed... PEDs helped him recover but they didn’t give him the focus and the discipline and skill. There is way more to his victories than the drugs...
He is the biggest asshat ever
I agree with Lance Armstrong : fierce competition and pushing the limits of athletic performance gets being promoted all the time while the same people condemn doping.
It's hypocritical of them.
Great interview. Thanks lance.
Would love to see him interview Greg LeMond. Especially after their history.
What is their history? I've heard people mention it but not really the specifics
Parade The Gospel If you get a chance, watch the “30 for 30 Slaying the Badger.” An amazing documentary on LeMond and Hinault BUT they talk about the beef between LeMond and Armstrong towards the end. Can get it for a few bucks on the iTunes Store, etc. It got pretty ugly between them. LeMond even shows up at a press conference questioning Armstrong in front of several people. You can find that on RUclips.
@@ParadeTheGospel he was salty lance passed him as the greatest American cyclist and attacked him verbally in front of the press. Lance ofc went back at him.
@@abone2pick ok
He didn't pay that much for ruining so many lives. His heart is cold and full of cynicism.
wait wut what lives lol?
Fascinating to see where he is in his process. Redemption takes a while. Glad he's hanging in there, can't wait to see how he resolves this all. A complicated character, his story transcends sport to deal with more complex human issues.
Right-this documentary shows some seldom moments where Lance shows his feelings......
@@domestique3954 Obvious sociopath.
He cheated. He will always be remembered as a cheater.
Nothing he can do will redeem his status.
He did it for money and glory, same story as so many
@@Eisenbison it’s not cheating when everyone is doing the same thing. He never had an unfair advantage over his rivals. Therefore, he did not cheat.
Em...Am I the only one who instantly thinks of South Park when he talked about the bar in Colorado? LOL
Great, elite cyclist. You don't just take steroids, jump on a bike and win races. This guy was a force on the bike!
You do win by creating a giant scam that pressured UCI to turn a blind eye with Nike money.
The steroids is the least of his offences. He abused so many other people
@@janmeyer3129 Actually they deserved it. The Andreus and LeMond definitely!!!! Why were they only after him??? There were/are other dopers too. Why only after Lance?!?
It's like I am going only after one drug dealer and expect he will be nice to me.
idc about that "doping" and treated a few people bad because , the important thing to me is what he did with his fame and it inspired/helped alot of people lance will forever be the champion to many people
Nope. No chance.
Love warching the MOVE podcast.
He wouldn’t have made 130 million dollars if he hadn’t used. He still a very rich man even after all the lawsuits. Bravo…..you beat the system. All cyclists used during that era. Lance did what he had to do. Legend!!!!
Hey, people still watch the Kardashians, life ain’t always real. At least this man put tens of thousands of hours of training in all conditions.
So did all the others. thats cycling for you.
Jiminy Cricket
Why do you think other pro cyclists didn’t put in the same training?
denmark39 and dope just like lance but still couldnt beat him
"the line between good and evil lies across every human heart" great interview.
Enhance Notstrong
I hated Barry Bonds Mark McGuire for what they did to baseball but seeing Lance Armstrong just make my blood boiler what he did cycle and for being all round bad guy.
Amazed me they cycled without helmets back then, and I was born in 1987...
I see people everyday not wearing them. Lol
Do you want to hear the truth or do you want him to say what you want to hear?
He never says the truth he cant
Shane Canning or you can’t stupid
The best Lance Armstrong interview I've seen. Good to see actual, genuine emotion which was not just self pity.
his circles under the eyes look likes he's been crying non stop since this happened
Best interview of an actor, manipulator, crook ...
Hahahaha yeah right, if he could do it all again he would in a second
how many times does this man have to apologise
He may as well not bother because it's insincere AF anyway.
Only once more to all the people he bullied, threatened and lied to, publicly and live on tv!
MT is a great interviewer
Pro bodybuilding and pro cycling have something in common, both require the athletes to take the best new drugs to compete at the top levels of the sport.
Literally any pro level sport.
"Preview on Huatacam in the pouring rain!" - Fond memories
Ahhhhhh the first lance attack in the mountains.
@@abone2pick I think it was Sestrieres, no?
This is an old interview now, he is still an elevated hero as he speaks. Competition is longing to be better than others. The question is why.
When he says:"i would not change a thing" we have to understand that all our decisions depend on the previous ones. Thats how we determine our own faith.
*fate
Smattless
True to a degree, plus he's made some smart financial investments and able to pay his fines, repay his sponsors, and live comfortably. He bought 100k of Lyft stock in its beginning, now worth 50m, why change anything?
Yeah, he's lying about that too. He can't stop lying. That's his real problem.
People forget so quick, lots of people here talk about every cyclist of that era was on the juice and thats THE BIGGEST LIE, Lance wants people to think that way so he doesn’t looks as bad but the fact is that maybe the top 50 cyclist of the era were, doping is not cheap especially the kind of treatments they were taking, not everyone had that kind of money and the saddest part is that the guys that did thing the right way were placing 100th place or worst, but the worst thing is that HE DIDNDT COME CLEAN HE GOT COUGHT and didnt have another option, the time when he got caught he did everything in his power to continue with his FRAUD please dont forget that for more than a decade he destroyed countless of lives in order to protect his lie.
Shut up, who are you? Were you there? You know all the facts? Stay behind your keyboard and write off a man who has accomplished more than you ever dream to. Take the drugs out of the equation and the results would be the same.
Greatest conman in sport.
Thank you lance
He's done a lot of good and bad things but to be fair at 7:06 he says the same thing as us all who ride bikes and I think that's kind of important.
I am glad Lance is telling the truth and in a better place now than before. Lies dropped so easily out of his mouth before. I would shake the man’s hand, but would never trust him again. I wish the best for him and his family. Thank you for truths finally, even if it was simply to self preserve.
He said the truth yes but why? because the FBI had evidence. He despised and chased Floyd Landis for revenge when he unpacked. And do not forget that it's a great asset to ruin the life and business of Greg Lemon. You have very very short memory it is very dangerous in front of this kind of psychopath.
@@valeriefernandez6736 Probably forgave Hitler, Stalin and Trump too lol
Time changes people...this time for better. God bless.
You still my hero,we all make mistakes God bless you always .
Not all mistakes are equal. And he doesn't seem sorry.
I just can't get on the "let's forgive Lance" bandwagon. All the big names throughout cycling history have used some form of chemical enhancement to augment their own natural abilities. My beef with Armstrong is that when confronted with proof he chose to s**t all over everyone who posed even a remote threat to his rep. No class buddy. That's not how a real hero acts.
Had he just shut his mouth and kept riding and winning (like all the other great winners before him did), people would eventually drop it. Instead, he lost his mind and turned into a raging a**hole.
You have more insight to yet receive..
This man has aged wow. Wat a life!!!
Aged like milk.
