This is like the biggest sports news of the decade.

Do you think this is admission of guilt?

How does this affect those that worshipped him and was inspired by him all these years?

How about the charity he was invovled with? knowing they were supported by a cheater?

Do you think Lance Armstrong is a hero and a legend?

Lance should get a medal for fooling so many. 

If we're so gullible we deserve to be fooled.

Thing is though with no positive drug tests it was hard to know what was going on. Will be interesting to see the interview.

Bob, I wouldn't say gullible, but trusting yes, and why wouldn't we believe the drug testing  he was subjected to was advanced enough to catch anyone who was using drugs to enhance their performance.

It was obviously a very sophisticated method being used by some very influencial people.

Freddie, what happens to his prize money. Does he get to keep it?

[freddie*rooster]

Jean, from what has been said he can't be jailed due to the 7yr statute of limitation in America. As for prize money, i'm not sure he's  only been stripped of the  Tour De France titles.

Nike are looking at recouping their sponsorship monies as he was in breach of contract

I thought I read an article saying he could be jailed for lying to his employer or another one saying about lying under oath. What's the 7yr limitation applied to?

I wonder what happened to his charity??

I don't think sponsors should get their money back, they got what they paid for?

Off topic: What are all those new little icons above for?

above the reply box..... video, audio, doc?

I think the press is jumping the gun at the moment. Oprah has not said he confessed, just hinted at it.
