This guy did a good interview with Tyler Hamilton. This interview isn’t good. His hurt feelings and bitterness toward Lance comes through clearly here and it makes him sound pretty childish.

This wasn’t heated at all.

I thought finally there was a reporter holding his feet to the flames, it's about time. The shocking truth that is unbelievable to me is that he needed a LAWYER in the room when he did his apology to Greg Lamond and apparently so did the Lamonds, which them having a lawyer would kind of make sense when you see what he did to Gregs money earning potential, but what did Lance need a lawyer? So horribly obvious, its all business and manipulation so he has the dialogue going forward about apologizing to everyone.

[@wvu05]

Asteriskstrong: I told Betsy Andreu I was sorry, what more does she want? Yes, because saying he is sorry makes up for years and years of hostility and defaming their character.

[@sleepyhead7391]

Wow I'm halfway through is this is already the hardest hitting interview I've seen on Armstrong. Great work! Much better than the ESPN fluff piece.

[@ZipSlipHollingbrook]

It's very fitting that the Irish have been in the vanguard of bringing him to the light. You sin, you repent (sincerely), and you're absolved. Lance is sorry he got caught. It's obvious, he exudes it. That's why the public hasn't embraced his redemption story, there's no recognition that he did anything wrong in the first place. You can tell by the way he talks: He apologized, if they won't accept his apology, there's noting he can do, he's the victim once again. It's a pretty good litmus test for sociopathy if you empathize with this guy. 'Everyone was doing it!' What kindergartner hasn't had that excuse rejected: 'Everyone was stealing, everyone was cheating, everyone was picking on the weak kid.' It's a scary commentary on our society that as many people seem to empathize with this unlikable character as do. He's a Greek tragedy, and in a Greek tragedy the hero fails to recognize his flaws, or only partially sees them when it's way too late.

[@Paul-px9bf]

Bang on the money mate

[@roadracer1158]

I don't understand the criticism of the interviewer. Of course the focus of the interview is going to be about doping and how disrespectfully Lance treated people. Lance was a master doper and cheater who treated people with disrespect and contempt and was able to avoid getting caught for quite some time. Suppose you were interviewing a bank robber who robbed 100 banks and didn't get caught. Wouldn't you be curious how the bank robber was able to successfully rob 100 banks and not get caught? I would just for the sake of curiosity.

What has the interviewer done here to gain atonement for this shambles of an interview?

[@asdfasdfasd0]

He's like that annoying ex girl/boyfriend that pretends to want to have a conversation but rather takes every chance to take subtle and not so subtle blows that are not constructive, shuts down an interviewee from disclosing or discussing anything. Did he really care what answers Lance gave or just wanted to "get him" with his comments. I can't believe Lance didn't hang up, what a waste of time.

[@kenhalal375]

Lance of 20 years ago would have hung up. So progress has been made?

[@gameofpwns1165]

The "motor" line of questioning was utterly obnoxious. He asked Tyler Hamilton that same question too: "What's the difference between epo and a motor?" WTF?? I mean doping sucks and unfairly advantages peeps and all that, but they're like not even in the the same ballpark. Am I wrong? It's like taking adderall for an exam versus just paying someone else take it for you. Wow.

[@SKILLIUSCAESAR]

I think it’s a fair question regarding the moral relativism in cycling. What factors into different methods of cheating being acceptable or not...

[@taaaaaaaaaaaarheeeee]

Only a non athlete would ask this and not realize how stupid he sounds

[@taaaaaaaaaaaarheeeee]

@@SKILLIUSCAESAR you only think it’s a fair if your not an athlete. Athletes know the difference between juicing and putting a motor in your bike

[@kenhalal375]

Lance already had an advantage and proved it with 7 TdF wins. He didn't need further advantage by having a motor. It was already obvious enough that something was amiss. I was hoping Lance would have gone down that road with his response.

[@standardtuning4guitars423]

Its not really about what kind of cheating method in the end. Armstrong has the choice to fully come clean, look like the good/honest guy. Or he can look bitter and hesitant and come across like hes hiding something...which will prevent him ever being seen as the good guy. I think his biggest weakness is an apparent pride he has in the complexity of the doping system and his achievements while on it. Of course the majority of cyclists were doping but i think other cyclists do a better job in being grounded and realistic about it. Personally i think swallowing a pill or injecting yourself with something requires no talent or skill, just money perhaps.

[@fernandochavez7807]

The interview was more about insulting Lance than conducting an interview!

[@standardtuning4guitars423]

Armstrong has more of a right to avoid being insulted if he hadnt insulted other people so unfairly in the past. In the end i feel it was a calculated interview on armstrongs side. i dont think he was directly insulted. It was more like a police/courtroom style interview where the emphasis was on armstrong to prove he isnt guilty of anything. If he doesnt care or comes up short then it tells its own story. The only criticism i would have is that the thankyou the interviewer gave at the end sounded disingenuous. Armstrong at least turned up and gave his time and that should have been respected. Also in other videos this interviewer has a habit of putting the spotlight on a single rider. The drug problem was systemic and changes have to happen at the top.

[@tman5634]

Insulting the cheat, the doper, the bully is nothing compared to how he treated others & 00.01% of what he deserves. Awful human being.

[@chocolatetownforever7537]

Lance deserves to eat as many slices of humble pie as reporters can give him. Hes lucky to still have all the money he has, and the sheep that still listen and watch his podcast.

[@wvu05]

Asteriskstrong asks how he can have anything to do to improve the sport and deal with anti-doping because he has a lifetime ban. Even Ben Johnson took a turn for an anti-doping campaign that actually had some good platforms including out of competition testing, a test once someone gets into the system so that any changes are obvious, and a truth and reconciliation process for sports like cycling that are completely are nearly completely tainted. If you are doing less than Ben Johnson, you aren't interested in cleaning up the sport.

[@ATLCane]

I would love to know the exact program he used. Timing of the drugs, how often, dosages etc. I find this stuff incredibly interesting. It’s a shame he never disclosed anything super specific about the drugs

Exactly. Why apologize? Lance didn't create the culture of doping in cycling. It was there long before he arrived, and it is still there now. The blame for all of this should either be on cycling's governing bodies, who turned a blind eye to what was going on, or the fans themselves, for deluding themselves into thinking that their favorite rider was clean, or that banning drugs creates a level playing field. It doesn't. There will always be someone who tries to gain an edge by taking an illegal substance. But by banning drugs, you actually hurt the honest riders. There's simply no viable solution to the problem.

Why isn't he talking about all the others who were doping...and THIER atonement.? Who the hell is he ( interviewer) God or something ?

[@happidaze1774]

Let's face the facts... 1. Doping continues to be rampant in cycling because (as it's been said many times), you can't finish the tour (much less win) without something! (Without drugs... first week flying, second week dying, third week fu@ked!). Also, the average speed of the tour continues to climb, providing solid evidence that widespread doping continues to this day. 2. Lance was one of the many doping (just read Tyler Hamilton's book) at that particular time. 3. Armstrong's mistake was that he was SO nasty to those around him. Read Hamilton's and others accounts of "walking on eggshells" around Armstrong because of his single-minded narcissistic approach to winning and doping. 3. I think people don't dislike him so much for doping (because he was a champion amongst fellow dopers) but because of the dreadful way he treated his teammates and staff in defending his line of BS regarding the actual doping. Further, his books misled many (me included) to believe Armstrong was clean. Nevertheless, Ger's approach was unprofessional and biased in the interview. His loathing for Armstrong was palpable. I definitely would not defend Armstrong in any way, but that doesn't justify poor journalism and barely concealed hatred for Armstrong. I've heard quite a few of Ger's interviews with other riders regarding this issue and they are usually underpinned by bias and a hatred for Armstrong which just comes across as totally unprofessional.

This was not going to end pretty. Armstrong has difficulty with the idea of regret and apologising. He said he isnt the type to lay down or give up. So he views apologising as a defeat. He's also trying very hard to not give up names of anyone else who doped. It would be an easy way out for him to point the finger at all the other riders but he refrains from doing that. OTB are a little inconsistent in that Tyler Hamilton doped but they invited him onto their channel warmly... 2 people armstrong treated very badly are David Walsh and Emma O'Reilly who are both Irish. So the irish probably are going to have the worst opinion about him. They are assuming Armstrong went into cycling dirty and a cheater. The truth is, like many, Armstrong entered cycling clean and only changed when he was being beaten by dopers. They should also acknowledge the authorities were corrupt and that enabled all this to happen. But the way Armstrong would threaten people to the extreme and used corrupt ties with officials for gains was completely unacceptable.

[@TheMrbc74]

Lance is a master of spin and he is very good a batting away interviewers who are not prepared, this was the opposite and the real Lance was bubbling up, Lance is not sorry for what he did he’s sorry the life he had while cheating is gone, he’s not sorry he cheated

[@Kay-hc7sj]

Lance handled these dumb interview questions pretty well.. a missed opportunity by OTB

[@thetennisjones3728]

Lance was right not to say “Your Welcome”!

[@markdeane8385]

Lance Armstrong is one of the greatest cyclists ever...end of..

[@jhmoxl]

So this was a bad interview. He kept haranguing Lance about not saying enough and that he should answer questions about this or that, but he has Lance ask him the questions you think he needs to answer. He does when its specific about Lamont or the Andrieus, if he lies he lies. But if you feel he needs to answer a question... ask him the question.

[@ryanhagedorn9181]

The stupid “bicycle-motor” question. And then, not letting it go!

[@jjoriordan2670]

Give it time. It's the next big scandal in cycling. The fact that Armstrong cut the interview there and then is extremely telling. It clearly touched a nerve.

[@martinmcgrath1985]

I think he spoke great here!

[@daveoliver5838]

Should’ve done the interview using Skype, wanted to see his facial expressions when answering. Btw, He even conned the two presidents, appeared on stage with President Clinton and Bush Snr !

I am french and totally fascinated by all the noise arround this small story compared to the Real History of our Tour de France, you guys have the greatest rider with Lemond, stop speaking about Lance WHO???, Never exist in our hsitory

Love the OTB boys but asking did he have a battery motor was a very uneducated question

Dougie doug , motors in bikes in 1990’s, that’s what stupid. Every one was doping , 2nd 3rd 4th 5th place, so he beat a bunch of cheaters on the same playing field, he made mistakes, he’s human and if you had millions to protect, I’m pretty sure you, you’ll do what ever it takes to protect it, it’s crazy how people are so high morals and judgmental, yet I don’t see them helping anyone but themselves

[@Tererami1991]

I fell in love with cycling because of “the Pope”. I was 10 on a hot summer day when my parents couldn’t take me or my siblings to the beach. I was sooo bored and trying to find something to do and spend my energy. I then picked up the remote, zapped a bit and fell on this bike race - mountain stage - and saw the magic of chess on a bike. It started with me but soon enough my 7 member family of 5 siblings were siding with either Schleck or contador in 2011. But it all started with the pope all those years back. Thank you for your service Lance. You did what you had to do.

Makes no difference how many apologies are made. How much is admitted or withheld. Two things for me will always define.... The great work for Cancer charity is tainted but I believe & hope lives were saved; & no matter how much money needs paid to this or that .. will never be worrying about where next months mortgage check is comin from. $£ cheated. $£ profited. End of. $£ Please now just go away

[@wvu05]

Even the cancer stuff is tainted because most of the money went to "awareness" and high dollar galas. His work for cancer is just as fraudulent as his cycling career.

[@dashroundaustralia]

get tha fook over it. nobodies a saint. If you dont believe this guy , thats ok , get on with your life. top 35 cyclists atleast are doping even to this day
