Been hearing this on radio all day today. Lance is coming clean on Oprah.
The fallout may cause the Olympics to pull cycling from the games. Apparently he is taking everyone else down with him, saying that cycling officials were complicit and encouraged his doping.
I don't have links yet, but I was surprised not to see a thread yet.

Lance Armstrong confesses to Oprah, ready to name names
Lance Armstrong won’t go down alone.
The disgraced cyclist, who was labelled the kingpin of a long-running doping scheme, has reportedly owned up to cheating and is ready to point the finger at others who may have facilitated or shielded it.
Mr. Armstrong sat down for an interview Monday with Oprah Winfrey which stretched on so long it will air over two episodes.
“It was surprising to me. I would say that for myself, my team, all of us in the room, we were mesmerized and riveted by some of his answers,” she told CBS Tuesday morning, noting that she had researched and prepared 112 questions.
“I feel that he answered the questions in a way that [suggested] he was ready. I didn’t get all the questions asked, but I think the most important questions and the answers that people around the world had been waiting to hear were answered. And certainly, answered, I can only say I was satisfied by the answers.”
