Lance Armstrong Outs Himself as a Sociopathic Liar in a Staged Oprah ‘Confession’
…that smacks of yet more public image manipulation

Lance Armstrong has now gone public with his admission of using illegal, banned substances to win his cycling races.
In a confession to Oprah Winfrey, Armstrong admitted to doping with EPO, testosterone and blood transfusions
during ALL his Tour de France races.
This is the guy who has berated, threatened, intimidated and screamed
at anyone over the past decade who dared to suggest that he doped. His
highly-aggressive lawyers
sued people and organizations who suggested the man doped.
“Lance Armstrong hasn’t just denied ever using performance enhancing
drugs, he has done so in an indignant, even threatening way,” reports
ABC News.
And now, after a decade of deceptive denial about his own doping, Lance seems ready to
rat on his fellow cyclists
about their doping habits. “He is also talking to authorities about
confessing and naming names, giving up others involved in illegal
doping,” says ABC News.
How pathetic does this get? The guy who swore he never doped — and
lied to the world year after year, race after race — is now going to
point the finger at other cyclists and say “THEY doped!?”
And let me just say, on the record, that anyone who falls for this
guy’s grand final manipulation — the staged Oprah apology — you are
suckers and fools who have no clue how much you’re being deceived by a truly evil, devious manipulator named Lance Armstrong.
“What am I on? I’m on my bike!”
That was the famous line from one of Lance Armstrong’s televised Nike ads. It was a lie, of course.
Armstrong was really on illegal substances that he conspired to have
internationally smuggled so that they could be needled into his veins
before the Tour de France races.
In admitting that he repeatedly doped,
Lance Armstrong has simultaneously admitted
he is a total prick
who bullied whistleblowers and destroyed the credibility of people who
were right all along about Armstrong’s cheating and betrayals.
And while people like James Stewart sat in jail in California for the
“crime” of distributing fresh milk to happy customers, total pricks
like Lance Armstrong — who apparently broke all kinds of laws and
regulations — aren’t even being arrested or prosecuted for their crimes.
“I was a bully” Armstrong now says. And when Winfrey asked him if he
sued one particular whistleblower who tried to go public with
Armstrong’s criminal doping behavior, Armstrong’s answer was, “
To be honest, we sued so many people.”
Yeah, as in
too many victims to even count or remember. The list of Armstrong’s victims is apparently longer than the needle tracks up his arms.
And now we’re supposed to forgive this total lying prick? Aaron Swartz, the internet activist, was
facing 50 years in prison for the “crime” of downloading some academic documents.
Is Lance Armstrong supposed to get a free ride for doing far, far
worse and even seeking to destroy the lives of other innocent people?
Lance Armstrong, may you go down in history as cycling’s most insidious, sociopathic liar
Lance Armstrong represents
everything that’s wrong with society today.
He lied his way to the top, he collected hundreds of millions of
dollars by cheating, he bullied and threatened anyone who got in his
way, and now he stages a public relations “
confession” on Oprah that smacks of yet more manipulation of the public eye.
It’s all so pathetic it makes me want to vomit. No doubt Armstrong
has calculated that confessing would somehow salvage his image and work
to his benefit.
I have yet to see Lance Armstrong do anything that didn’t somehow benefit himself.
Even his entire cancer organization seems like nothing more than a
front group to try to provide moral cover for his outrageous deceptions.
Allow me to join the chorus of millions of other people who are sick
and tired of Armstrong’s manipulations by saying: Lance Armstrong,
you are NOT forgiven!
You are a despicable, disgusting manipulator who betrayed your fans,
your sport and your country. You are a liar, a cheater, a drug user and a
master manipulator. Even your so-called “confession” was entirely
staged to create a kind of “soft apology” in the hopes that your career
based on lies might still remain viable in some way. With Armstrong, the
world is always a stage, and the part he plays is always an act.
If Lance is confessing now, what about all the other years during
which he destroyed the careers of whistleblowing colleagues, lied to
corporate sponsors, betrayed his fans, junked up his veins with illegal
substances and paraded around like a humanitarian hero when he was
really
a substance junkie?
One staged confession, Lance, doesn’t undo all the hurt, and harm,
and destruction you’ve caused over the past decade. How are you going to
make amends before your fans and before God, for that matter? Where is
your real humanity?
Just another sociopathic liar
I don’t know you personally, Lance, but I know your kind: You are
part of a class of manipulative, sociopathic, overpaid lying bastards
who think they run our world.
We find your kind in politics, in banking and in the world of
corporate medicine — a world you know all about, as you were a paid
spokesperson for one of the largest vaccine manufacturers in the world.
You are the kind of person who thinks you win by cheating — a person who
doesn’t mind how many other people you have to hurt, threaten, lie to
or betray
as long as YOU are climbing to the top!
As
Forbes writer Victor Lipman wrote last night:
…beyond the cheating, beyond the bullying, beyond the defiant
lying, beyond the omerta (code of silence), the essence of Mr.
Armstrong’s problem is manipulation. And its first cousin, control. For
well over a decade, Mr. Armstrong successfully manipulated the sports
world, the media, his cycling colleagues — basically everyone
imaginable.
Now that he’s in disgrace, facing potential sponsor claw backs in
the high millions, how does he choose to begin to resurrect his image?
By a carefully chosen celebrity interview, rather than a real news
conference in which he’d face real journalists and real cycling experts
asking the toughest questions imaginable.
And now you expect us to forgive you? Are we supposed to imagine that
none of what you did matters now? So all the years you were lying to
all of us — the media, the regulators, the sponsors, and so on — none of
what matters now?
You really want to be forgiven? Here’s how we will forgive you:
Give up ALL your ill-gotten gains. Donate all your
assets, including your house, your car and your hundreds of millions of
dollars in other assets, to all the other cyclists you betrayed and
harmed.
Live as a penniless, homeless man until you find some humility.
Because only then will you ever find forgiveness from those you deeply
betrayed.
I’ll forgive you then, but not until then. Every day that you live in
your mansion outside of Austin is another day that you live the total
lie of a dishonest, wretched man who relied on deceit and trickery to
achieve victory instead of the actual talent, dedication and human
spirit you wanted us to believe drove you forward.
Lance Armstrong,
you are a deceiver of unparalleled magnitude,
and your habit of deception continues even today with your staged
“confession” and never-ending attempts to manipulate your fan base with
yet more deceptions.
Your only path to true forgiveness is to first give up the riches you
acquired through lies and deceit. Until the day comes that you walk the
streets penniless and humbled, I pray that we never hear your name nor
see your face again.
