Best viewing of the night without a doubt - Anderson Cooper, with Betsy Andreu and Mike Anderson reacting to the Oprah show tonight. I'll find a link to a video if I can. Replay might come on at 10:00 p.m. PST tonight.

Seeing Betsy get choked up, damn, I was pissed. I'm only 15 minutes by bike from Lance's house (where the interview happened) so it's a good thing he's in Kona now :-)

Statement From USADA CEO Travis T. Tygart Regarding Lance Armstrong Interview

January 17, 2013

“Tonight, Lance Armstrong finally acknowledged that his cycling career was built on a powerful combination of doping and deceit.

His admission that he doped throughout his career is a small step in the right direction. But if he is sincere in his desire to correct his past mistakes, he will testify under oath about the full extent of his doping activities.”

USADA is responsible for the testing and results management process for athletes in the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement, and is equally dedicated to preserving the integrity of sport through research initiatives and educational programs.
