For those who think he again "cheated" them of an exclusive confess all interview, I think if you were expecting that level of admission at this early stage you were really deluding yourself.
The process of admissions etc etc has just begun for him, and the LAST person on earth to put him in the hot-seat for that really "searching" PROPER investigative interrogative type interview that he must be subjected to was not going to be Oprah, and I think she is humble enough to accept that, her part in this first part of the process was to simply facilitate Armstrongs pathway to being able to speak about what took place back then, and overall I think she did that quite well.
What needs to happen now is that he is taken somewhere private, confidential, with no media circus no "twitter leaks" and spoken to by a reconvened Federal investigation team, after all the original one was dropped with no REAL explanation as to why or under who's authority it was disbanded.
He has indicated his desire to assist with investigations into the governing bodies, suggesting there are issues that need addressing there, what is clear in my opinion is this....
The American public must not be prepared to forgive their fallen hero..he has besmirched and sullied WORLD cycling...he is not just your hero to forgive...cycling is a world sport, and he took the world adulation for a very long time, he is now ready by the looks of things ready to face up to what he has done...I only hope the strength that carried him through the cancer battle will shine through this and not weaken his resolve when the going gets tough....he has fallen once, and may never recover, but the one thing he can do is make sure the people who assisted him and are STILL in power are removed too.
