Armstrong awaits 'candid' Oprah interview
Postal Service team that Armstrong once led.
Yet if any of that was weighing on Armstrong's mind,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he didn't show it early in the day.
Wearing a red jersey and black shorts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sunglasses and a white baseball cap pulled down to his eyes, he was training by himself and about a mile from his home when he talked to the AP. Armstrong ran for about an hour as his team of lawyers and advisors began arriving one-by-one at his house.
Leaning into a reporter's car on the shoulder of a busy Austin road, he also seemed unfazed by the international news crews gathering at the gates of his home. He cracked a few jokes about all the attention the interview with Winfrey had already drawn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then added,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "But now I want to finish my run" and took off down the road.
The interview,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which will take place at his home and broadcast Thursday on the Oprah Winfrey Network, will be Armstrong first public response to the USADA report. A person with knowledge of the situation told the AP a day earlier that Armstrong will give a limited confession and apologize. He is not expected to provide a detailed account about his involvement,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], nor address in depth many of the specific allegations in the more than 1,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000-page USADA report.
In a text to the AP on Saturday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Armstrong said: "I told her (Winfrey) to go wherever she wants and I'll answer the questions directly, honestly and candidly. That's all I can say. />
A confession would be a stunning reversal after years of public statements,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], interviews and court battles from Austin to Europe that Armstrong waged while zealously protecting his reputation.
After a federal investigation of the cyclist was dropped without charges being brought last year, USADA stepped in with an investigation of its own. The agency deposed nearly a dozen former teammates and accused Armstrong of masterminding a complex and brazen drug program that included steroids,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], blood boosters and a range of other performance-enhancers.
Armstrong had remained defiant, tweeting a picture of himself on a couch at home with all seven of the yellow leader's jerseys on display in frames behind him. Postal Service. The Justice Department has yet to announce whether it will join the case.
The London-based Sunday Times is also suing Armstrong to recover about $500,000 it paid him to settle a libel lawsuit, and Dallas-based SCA Promotions has threatened to bring yet another lawsuit against Armstrong to recover more than $7.5 million an arbitration panel awarded him as a bonus for winning the Tour de France.
The lawsuit most likely to be influenced by a confession might be the Sunday Times case. Potential perjury charges stemming from his sworn testimony in the 2005 arbitration fight would not apply because of the statute of limitations,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Armstrong was not deposed during a federal investigation that was closed last year without charges being brought,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
But the USADA report persuaded many of his sponsors to drop Armstrong -- at the cost of tens of millions of dollars -- and soon after,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he left the board of the Livestrong cancer-fighting charity he founded in 1997. Armstrong is still said to be worth about $100 million.
Livestrong might be another reason Armstrong has decided to come forward with an apology and limited confession. The charity supports cancer patients and still faces an image problem because of its association with Armstrong,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. He may also be hoping a confession would allow him to return to competition in the elite triathlon or running events he participated in after his cycling career,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
