Lance Armstrong has decided to come clean, so to speak. Since the big dope’s life is essentially ruined, he’s apparently going to admit it all and ask for forgiveness. And who better to give it to him that Oprah? She’s got him on January 17 from 9 to 10:30pm on the hard to find OWN channel. Good for her. It used to be that celebrities went to Larry King or Barbara Walters when they needed to eat crow publicly and return to the world....(snip) ...We will wait for the usual clips, leaks, and advance bites. PS Apparently the Showtime show, “60 Minutes Sports” is also headlining a tremendous piece by Scott Pelley. Check it out at CBSNews.com...(snip)

LOS ANGELES -- Lance Armstrong has agreed to a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey where he will address allegations that he used performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career.
According to a release posted on Oprah's website on Tuesday, it's the first interview with Armstrong since his athletic career crumbled under the weight of a massive report by USADA detailing allegations of drug use by the famous cyclist and teammates on his U.S. Postal Service teams.
It's unclear if the interview at Armstrong's home in Austin, Texas, has already been taped. Nicole Nichols, a spokeswoman for Oprah Winfrey Network & Harpo Studios, declined comment.
The show will air at 9 p.m. EST on Jan. 17 on OWN and Oprah.com. (excerpt)
White guy asks for forgiveness from a random black lady. I don’t get it. Is this continued reperations?
I’ve heard that it is a big myth that you have to appeal in person to Oprah, many say that just praying to her from your own home is equally valid.
LOL
He was going to ask God but rumor had it that he might have been asked to sell all he had and give it to the poor!
Oprah indeed! scheeeesch!
Mel
Insanity! It does run in the liberal family!
I stuck with this guy thinking there was no way he was guilty after always passing and never failing a doping test.
It’s a downright conspiracy on his part. Surely the people had to know why they were giving him blood transfusions to make him clean.
F him!
He doesn't have the cojones...
Bless me Oprah for I have sinned...
Things are *really* getting weird in this country. Some wackjob went on for no-telling-how-long on an American Thinker article the other day about “Father 0bama”, Jamie Fox calls 0bam his “lord & savior” & now this. :-/
She sees you when you’re sleeping, she knows when you’re awake...
Never watched oprah, but wondered if this was some kind of bad remake of the oj simpson story.
Why Oprah?
Why not go all out and ask the Pope?
So......
How many MILLIONS does the confessor make and how many MILLIONS will that OPRAH make?
Call me, i’ll be sorting my sock draw out.....
Some of his recent tweets suggest his stance may be - he did what he had to do to win. After all, he as racing against a field of dopers and he only did what they did to level the playing field.
Not sure it’s going to fly with anyone though. He’d be missing the point that all doping in not created equal and maybe he just doped better then everyone else, not that he was really a better rider then everyone else.
He should ask Greg Lemond for forgiveness.
Ha! That does explain how he can ride all those hours on that tiny bike seat. Still, I am disgusted by the mental picture of him groveling before Oprah or any other entertainment TV huckster. I really miss the days when people had shame. Shame was awesome.
Druggies can't be shamed.
