Oprah Winfrey and Lance Armstrong: A Worldwide Exclusive
In a global premiere event, Oprah Winfrey will speak exclusively with Lance Armstrong in his first no-holds-barred interview since receiving a lifetime ban from professional sports for alleged doping.
During this two-part special, Armstrong will address the alleged doping scandal, years of accusations of cheating and charges of lying about the use of performance-enhancing drugs throughout his cycling career.
The seven-time Tour de France winner was stripped of his titles and dropped from millions of dollars in endorsement deals after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released an extensive report accusing the renowned cyclist of doping throughout his career. Armstrong was given a lifetime ban from competing professionally and stripped of all seven Tour de France titles.
Late last year, Armstrong resigned as chairman of the global foundation he created, Livestrong, which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in the fight against cancer.
