“I’m not the most believable guy in the world right now,” Lance Armstrong told Oprah Winfrey during a lengthy interview that was beamed around the world.
Along with issuing this drastic understatement, Armstrong finally confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs during his cycling career, discussed the way in which he bullied those who sought to reveal the truth and got emotional as he discussed coming clean to his 13-year-old son, Luke, about the cheating and the lies.
Here are Armstrong’s most memorable statements from the interview:
- “I viewed this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times.”
- “I know the truth. The truth isn’t what was out there. The truth isn’t what I said, and now it’s gone – the story was so perfect for so long.”
- “My cocktail, so to speak, was only EPO, but not a lot, transfusions and testosterone.”
