Lance Armstrong finally cracked. Not the way anti-doping authorities hoped or as disillusioned fans wanted, while expressing deep remorse or regrets. It was over another bit of collateral damage.

Anti-doping officials say Armstrong must reveal more Jan 18, 2013 12:00 AM

He did it. He finally admitted it. Lance Armstrong doped. He was light on the details and didn’t name names. He mused that he might not have been caught if not for his comeback in 2009.

Lance Armstrong’s U-turn just hot air? Jan 9, 2013 12:00 AM
Lance Armstrong is finally ready to talk. And Oprah Winfrey is willing to listen. Armstrong's path to some sort of redemption, if there even is one, cannot lie in a televised and webcast chat with Winfrey, but in total cooperation with the anti-doping and cycling authorities who say he was a serial cheat. How, precisely, down to the very last detail, did Armstrong, his teammates, doctors, managers and others for years run what USADA described as "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen?"
