Colours to the mast. Long time hater of Armstrong. I've read enough about his bullying ways over the years to realise he's a right cunt.
I've (just) watched both of the Oprah interviews. I have to admit to being captivated by them. Totally fascinated by him, a socio-path with the walls - finally crashing down around him. I have to say though, that I **didn't **find it insincere. I think thats as close to candid as you'll get from him.
To adopt an LA idiosyncrasy; Do I think he will regain the the trust of those he sought to persecute for daring to call him a cheat? No, probably not. I mean, LeMond, Kimmage, Walsh, Andrieus, etc.
Im genuinely glad he came clean in the end. What a sordid tale though. He did his best to ruin professional lives s and careers. Forgiveness is a reward for the wronged party, it gives closure to the bitterness and hatred harboured for those who we feel have crossed us.
LA will live with his misdemeanour's forever.
