Video: Lance Armstrong Oprah interview: 'I doped during all seven Tour wins' "I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times," said Armstrong. He dodged few questions and refused to implicate anyone else. "I don't want to necessarily talk about anybody else, I made my decisions, they are my mistake and I'm sitting here today to acknowledge that and to say I'm sorry for that," he told Oprah. Whether his televised confession will help or hurt Armstrong's bruised reputation and his already-tenuous defence in at least two pending lawsuits, and possibly a third, remains to be seen. Either way, a story that seemed too good to be true - cancer survivor returns to win one of sport's most gruelling events seven times in a row - was revealed to be just that. Oprah got right to the point when the interview began, asking for yes-or-no answers to five questions. Did Armstrong take banned substances? Did that include the blood-booster EPO? Did he do blood doping and use transfusions? Did he use testosterone, cortisone and human growth hormone? Did he take banned substances or blood dope in all his Tour wins?
