No, oprah has never been on DiscoveryI wonder if Discovery will show any re-runs. On a slight tangent, does Discovery usually show Oprah or is this on there because of his previous affiliations with the Discovery Chanel team?
As a diehard cyclist, this hurts. It really does. Not becasue I am/was an Armstrong fan - I always went for the opposition to the all-powerful USPS team - but because of the impression drugs has had on the sport I love (almost as much as football/Spurs). The fact that people I talk to/people on here automatically think that all cyclists (esp. racing cyclists) are on the juice. It's a load of bullshit.
Thank god this is all happening now, finally, albeit 10 years late. But it is happening. The sport is about as clean as it's ever going to be. Cycling is different to football and other 'skill' sports in that it is 99% body fitness, strength, weight, endurance. There are always going to be people pushing the envelople. Hopefully now it is going to remain clean and people who don't necessarily understand the nuances of cycling will learn that things have changed. That is all we can hope for.
He came across as a massive **** in that interview. he wasn't sorry, he was sorry he got caught and in true American style, he danced around questions and tried to jazz up his long winded answers.
Is it? Contador got banned last year.The sport is clean now but it wasn't when Armstrong was winning all those tours so I agree with him that is was a level playing field, I guess that is why he shows no remorse.

It's not a level playing field, though. Just because two different riders dope doesn't mean they are taking the same drugs in the same quantities or that it affects them in the same way.
To clarify, in 2006, 17 racers were disqualified the day before, including most of the favorites. The eventual winner, Landis, was disqualified after.
