    Armstrong and Te’o, and lies and liarsJan 19, 2013 12:00 AM
    The verdict is finally in on Lance Armstrong, and it's worse than anyone thought. His appearance with Oprah was a disaster in so many ways that you wonder how he ever thought she would be the first step on his path to salvation.

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?"
