TWO MINUTES: Armstrong admits to doping

Did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance? “Yes.”

Was one of those EPO? “Yes.”

Did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions? “Yes.”

Testosterone? “Yes.”

In all seven of your Tour de France wins did you ever take banned substances or blood doping? “Yes.”

Was it humanly possible to win the Tour de France without doping seven times in a row? “Not in my opinion.”

SEVEN MINUTES: Armstrong is ‘sorry’ for not trying to stop the drugs culture in cycling

“I didn’t invent the culture but I didn’t try to stop the culture. That’s what I have to be sorry for. The sport is now paying the price for that. I am sorry for that.

LANCE ARMSTRONG: I DESERVE THIS

Lance Armstrong: I deserve this
Lance Armstrong has said he deserves his spectacular fall and hopes he can earn forgiveness from his fans and family.

NINE MINUTES: Armstrong admits his ”mistakes”, says he’s sorry

”I don’t want to accuse anybody else, talk about anybody else. I made my decisions, they are my mistakes. I am sitting here to say I’m sorry for that.”

25 MINUTES: Armstrong admits he was a bully

“Yeah, I was a bully.” How? “In the sense I tried to control the narrative … whether somebody being disloyal, I tried to control that. “That’s a lie, they’re liars.’

45 MINUTES: Armstrong says he didn’t feel bad about cheating

Did it feel wrong? “At the time, no.” Not even feel wrong? “No. It’s scary.” Did you feel bad about it? “No. Even scarier.” Did you feel you were cheating? “No. The scariest.”

57 MINUTES: Armstrong admits his former masseuse Emma O’Reilly’s claim the team covered up a positive cortisone test by back-dating a prescription was true

“That is true.” What do you want to say about Emma O’Reilly? “She’s one of these people that I have to apologise to. She’s one of these people that got run over, got bullied. I have reached out to her and tried to make those amends on my own.”

64 MINUTES: Armstrong says he might have gotten away with doping if he hadn’t returned to the sport

Do you regret coming back? “I do. We wouldn’t be sitting here if I didn’t come back.” You would have gotten away with it? “It’s impossible to say. Much better chances. But I didn’t.”
