Did anyone notice that when he quoted the dictionary definition of ''cheat'' he completely missed out the ''unfair'' bit? That's how cheating gets incorporated into competing.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/wada-president-gives-scathing-review-of-armstrong-interview
World Anti-Doping Agency president John Fahey has dismissed Lance Armstrong's interview with Oprah Winfrey as "nothing but a public relations exercise."
In a scathing review of the 90-minute program shortly after its airing, Fahey told ABC News 24 in Australia that Armstrong's mode of confession was a calculated move designed so that the Texan would not be faced with tough questions.
"We learnt nothing new," said Fahey. "He refused to give names of the entourage, the officials, the other riders, the source of the drugs which he admitted taking and he indicated at the same time that he harassed and bullied many decent and honest people with litigation and public statements - even though those people were telling the truth.
"If he'd wanted to come clean and seek redemption I would hope that he would seek some appropriate tribunal and give evidence under oath, subject himself to cross-examination and tell the facts. Not just the snippets that he sees is convenient for his own purposes."

Pah! I was hoping for a blood bath instead of a shampoo and set. I honestly believe he has grossly misjudged the public and media. This wasn't cathartic, it was never meant to be, it was calculating and cynical, the actions of a true sociopath for all the world to see. I hear Betsy Andreu is a tad upset over on CNN.
Quote of the interview for me was: LA - " I regard Michele Ferrari as a good man and a smart man, and I still do"
I am waiting for tomorrows B sample to confirm he is a positive liar.

Hont (and John Fahey) have got it spot on. He has done nothing like coming clean nor done justice to his victims (and there were victims). But then this is exactly what we expected.
good....all things he deserves

Also I can just imagine some Hollywood types planning a "Lance Armstrong, The Rise & Downfall Of An American Sporting Legend" type movie of all this, it's almost inevitable......

agree with that, as much as I find him a contemptible man I did watch thinking, 'goodness lance, you could sell sand to the Arabs'I think he is saying as much he can say without naming names, and risking ending up in prison! I'm sure that the tears will flow in the second programme when he talks about his family and Livestrong. He's very good at this, isn't he - I almost feel sorry for him!
How many ad breaks an hour do they have in the USA!

Yep. Nope.
I think when he said that he regretted his comeback because without it he wouldn't be sitting there talking about no getting away with it, you need know nothing more.
In this first part, he concedes only that which was incontestable. I hope he will be more forthcoming at some point with USADA/WADA and that this is just a first step.
