Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong has finally admitted to using performance enhancing drugs.
He made the confession during an interview with Oprah Winfrey, who gave CBS This Morning some details about her much anticipated exclusive interview with Lance Armstrong, which will air Thursday.
.
“The answers that people around the world have been waiting to hear were answered and i have to say I was satisfied,” Oprah told CBS This Morning.
Armstrong was stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles after the U.S. Anti-doping Agency found overwhelming evidence he took performance enhancing drugs.
Up until now the cyclist strongly denied the allegations. “We were mesmerized, even riveted by some of his answers,” Winfrey continued.
Winfrey chose to talk with CBS This Morning because she's best friends with Anchor Gayle King.
“It's been reported this was an emotional interview,” King asked her friend.
Hours before Armstrong sat down with Winfrey, he apologized to the staff of his Livestrong charity, which raises money for cancer survivors. He stepped down from the board in October after the Anti-Doping Agency report.
Legal expert say Armstrong's admission now leaves him open to lawsuits and possible criminal charges.
