lance armstrong comes clean. after more than a decade of denialses lies and cheating, seven-time tour de france winner, olympic bronze medalist and cancer survivor lance armstrong told oprah winfrey the truth. >> did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performance? >> yes. >> yes or no. was one of those banned substances epo? >> yes. >> did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance? >> yes. >> did you ever use any other banned substances like testosterone, cortisone or human growth hormone? >> yes. >> yes or no, in all seven of your tour de france victories, did you ever take banned substances or blood dope? >> yes. >> in your opinion, was it humanly possible to win the tour de france without doping? seven times in a row. >> not in my opinion. >> for months, even longer, armstrong has been feeling the effects of the latest and biggest u.s. anti-doping investigation. this one found him guilty of using illicit drugs throughout his cycling career. now his t

the fraudulent claims of lance armstrong. there has been a whistle-blower lawsuit filed by one of the members of the team. there is a law that says if you expose fraud, you can be compensated. the u.s. government may say lance armstrong should be responsible for that award. and then you have companies, as you say, like nike and other companies that depended upon his good reputation to market their products, and they could claim that they have been defrauded. so lots of potential civil lawsuits against lance armstrong, depending upon what he tells oprah in that interview. >> and if you're a lawyer, on either side, if you're lance armstrong's lawyer or you're on the anti-doping side, you're one of the agencies, these bodies looking at his record, what are you looking for in that interview? >> well, i'm looking for a precise admission to the use of performance-enhancing drugs and blood doping. i'm looking for him to say he actually did that. because you notice he rather brazenly in that deposition that was just played denies and

for years, lance armstrong cheated, lance armstrong lied. but last night in big public fashion he came clean. in a gripping, surreal interview with oprah, he told oprah point blank he doped to win each of his seven consecutive tour de france titles. he systematically died about doping and ruthlessly attacked his accusers. the 90-minute interview began by cutting to the chase. simple yes or no questions. >> let's start with the questions that people around the world have been waiting for you to answer and for now i'd just like a yes or a no. >> okay. >> okay? this whole conversation, we have a lot of time, will be about the details. yes or no? did you ever take banned substances to enhance your cycling performances? >> yes. >> was one of those banned substances epo? >> yes. >> did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance? >> yes. >> did you ever use any other banned substances, like testosterone, cortizone, or human growth hormone? >> yes. >> yes or no. in all seven of your tour de france victories, di

. >>> let's stay with sports now and lance armstrong. he opened up to oprah winfrey in a second and final part of their really highly anticipated interview about the effect his doping had on his family. and he actually teared up a bit when he recalled telling his 13-year-old son about using those performance enhancing drugs. >> when this all really started, i saw my son defending me. and saying, that's not true. what you're saying about my dad is not true. and it almost goes to this question of "why now?" and i can't -- yeah. that's when i knew i had to tell him. and he'd never ask me. he never said, dad, is this true? he trusted me. i said, don't defend me anymore. don't. >> but even after those tears, armstrong, the competitor, came through. you know, after this unbelievable fall from grace, the lifetime ban, he says he wants to race again. ed lavendera is in armstrong's hometown of austin, texas. ed, a thousand-page report from u.s.ada on doping. stripped of the tour de france titles, losing the olympic medal from sydney in 2000, the

>>lance armstrong dijo que no era posible ganar un tour sin deparse. que viajaba en aviones para doparse, que las agujas las tiraba dentro de latas de refresco para no dejar evidencia. no temia ser descubierto, que sentia que no hacia nada malo. lance armstrong fue objeto de una investigación que no arrojo resultados. >>compañeros dieron su testimonio y dijeron que era el programa más sofisticado de dopaje que se haya visto. >>junto a otros, enfrenta una gran demanda. >>pordrían llegar a encauzarlo formalmente. quizás pueden acusarlo de tráfico de drogas a nivel estatal e internacional. >>hoy vencia el plazo si el servicio postal se unia a la demanda del ex compañero de lance armstrong, que violó una clausula de patrocinio. el servicio quiere recuperar los 40 millones de dólares que le dio a lance armstrong por seis años. >>este podría recibir el 25% de lo que puedan recuperar >>revelaciones que pueden cambiar el curso de este deporte. >>y habrá que esperar el desenlace en corte. >>y un sicario que quiera confesar sus delitos no es común.

what's next for lance armstrong? going to talk with reed abergotti, legal reporter from "the wall street journal" and sports agent drew rosenhouse with us. drew, i'll begin with you if i can. did it work? did what lance armstrong need to do last night, was he effective in doing it? >> we won't know for a while whether or not it works, what his objectives are. for him to get back into the public eye, to become an athlete, personality, or someone who hopes to make money professionally again in the public eye, this was the very beginning, you have to admit you made a mistake. come clean, apologize, and then you can rebuild from there. >> you can do a million interviews with oprah, that won't work for the usada. >> this has no bearing on whether he can go back to competing in triathlons at all. and usada has been very clear about that. and they would look at this interview as kind of a gauge about what he might say to them. i don't think they would be satisfied with a lot of these answers. >> dr. ferrari, the centerpiece

you will hear more of lance armstrong's jaw-dropping interview. first i want to go right to the heart of where it all happened, at least where it started, austin, texas, lance armstrong's hometown, home base. cnn's george howell is there. george, you know, this is not just a story where people across america are in disbelief are, you know, are outraged, are still angry, are considering forgiving him. this must be hell in his hometown. >> reporter: you know, ashleigh, the question here, was it believable, you know, he said all of the right words, but is he truly, sincerely apologetic, you know, for what he did here? and when you talk to people, some ask, you know, does it really make a difference, and some say they are disappointed. there are cyclists who are livid, ashleigh, about what they heard the other night. but i spoke with one person, michael hall, he writes for "texas monthly" he rode with lance and he knows him well enough, and he said when you listen to what lance armstrong had to say, you do have to question whether he really meant it,

lance armstrong is 41 years old. there's no more trips through the pyrenees in the the tour de france. if you're michael vick and you can still play quarterback when you come back. if you erie lewis, the great linebacker for new orleans, if you're charged with an access - your scandal occurs at the end of your career, there is no going back to the playing field and having it absolve all your sins, there's really nowhere for lance to go on a competitive basis, so that mai makes it difficult for him to come into the public's grace. >> maybe he does do some triathlons, if he decides to do that, is there any way that he could actually fool people again, that he might be able to cheat again if he wanted to? >> well, like jennifer anniston said on friends, once a cheater, and i think that's going to be people's expectation at the very start. it's going to be guilty until proven innocent for him for the rest of his days, no matter where it is in the public eye. whether it's a career in politics, whether it's something that

lance armstrong comes clean. reports say the disgraced cyclist confessed to oprah winfrey that he was doping during a storied career that included a record seven tour de france titles. that interview will air thursday on winfrey's own network. >>> the aurora, colorado, movie theater where people were killed during a midnight massacre in july is set to reopen on thursday. before it does, victims and their families will are be allowed to privately visit the complex today and tomorrow. thursday's reopening is built as a night of remembrance. some 2,000 tickets will be given to victims, first responders, hospital workers, and volunteers. >> and just a month after the school shootings that sparked a nationwide debate over gun control, listen to this, the national rifle soes yeassociati released a new app for smartphones. it's called nra gun range. it went up on sunday. according to the itunes' description it includes 3-d shooti shooting. >>> a 12-year-old boy in southern california has been found responsible for the m

lance armstrong is a partial owner here. i was talking to the general manager of the store, and he said they know the circle of support for lance armstrong has shrunk considerably, but there's still a great number of people who support him. he told me an anecdote of a woman who bought a bike here and after the report had come out, returned the bike and said i refuse to give that guy lance armstrong any money. but despite all of that, there is still support and he still supports the friend he's known since they were teenagers. have you told him maybe you lost faith in him? >> no. there's still a lot there. there's still a lot of things that he's done and accomplished outside of the seven tours of france. everything right now is focused on that. when you take him the person and look at all the things that he's done, people's inspired, people's helped with cancer, there's a much bigger story. and i think that part of the story will start to come around. a lot of people are sort of abandoning him really quickly and i think that

and i would say really only lance armstrong knows. one is that powerful, powerful denial can be employed when someone is afraid of being found out, doesn't want to admit to themselves that they've done something terribly, terribly wrong, and so denial can reach almost psychotic proportions where you just convince yourselves that what you're doing is right and in that case, lying. the other possibility is that you're sociopathic, that you don't feel guilt, you are not concerned about those you might be hurting. you feel justified to get what you want and you're really not concerned about the consequence and so manipulatively you will do whatever you need to do. for instance, in this case it would be fame and money. >> and, gail, it's one of those things that people are looking at this and it's not just that he denied it for so long. it was this position that he took of how dare you even question me. he went so much further than denying it. he went on the attack. you said it could be a defense mechanism. is it a coping mechanism. he kne

lance armstrong confesses to doping. while he was doping, he didn't think he was cheating, he says. >> i had this exercise, kipt he i kept hearing, i'm a cheat, i'm a cheat, i'm a cheater. i went and looked up -- i looked up the definition of cheat. >> yes. >> and the definition of cheat is to gain an advantage on a rival or foe, you know, they don't have or that -- i didn't view it that way. i viewed it as -- as a level playing field. >> psychologist paula bloom sitting here with me in the studio. that's a deep sigh. my goodness, paula bloom. it is like you live and think about someone who would have common sense to do right, to do wrong. and then it seems to be this theme of this pursuit of perfection lance armstrong's life. >> right. not to lessen the blame on him by any means, but i think we live in this culture of it is not good enough to be good enough. you need to be the best. every parent wants their kid to be in the gifted program. everybody thinks to be worthwhile, you have to be the best. >> like an honor stud

he was an incredible competitor after lance armstrong and lance armstrong, as betty said, went after greg lemond. do you think lance armstrong gets it, bill? >> i think he gets that he should get it, and i think what we're seeing here is he's really struggling with it. what's interesting to me is there's sort of parallel views of this going on. there's a lot of people who are skeptical, but i was reading all the reactions today from jonathan and tyler hamilton and frankie. they have all acknowledged how hard it is just to do what he's done, and frankie in a report today was saying until you sit down and start talking to usada, you don't know how hard that is. the people who are there and made the mistakes he did in a smaller way, they seem to have more empathy for him than everyone else. interesting. >> oprah asked about paying off allegations that he attempted to pay off usada or somebody in his world attempted to pay off usada. let's listen to what he said. >> last wednesday night travis tygart ceo of usada told 60 minutes sports that someone on your team offered a donation that us

people will tune in to hear lance armstrong's confession. i think most probably assumed at this point with the evidence and the conversations that have taken place he was guilty of something. is there any way this guy can save his name or is it gone for good? >> can lance armstrong save his name? interesting question because cycling is a nish sport. i could ask 100 people to name a cyclist and say lance armstrong and then name two cyclists and 99 people probably look at me like i have no idea but there are reservoirs of people in this country who feel very connected to him because of the fight against cancer, because of of livestrong and the yellow bracelet and whatnot and so i'm curious to see if he can rebuild his reputation but it's very difficult and i'll tell you why. because the next ten years of his life is going to -- a lot of it spent in court. >> yes. >> there is going to be a macy's thanksgiving day parade of lawyers outside of his house for a chunk of his reportedly $100

night, rather critical of lance armstrong. but tonight's portion of the interview seems to be ready to touch on a much more complex and delicate part of his relationship, with cancer survivors and the livestrong foundation. and that will be a rather interesting part of this to watch. many people who have applauded lance armstrong for what he's done in this area, this humanitarian area for more than a decade, applaud him. but there are many critics who say he's used this to kind of help his public image. just after the u.s. anti-doping agency released its reason decision report last october condemning lance armstrong as a doper, the cycling icon made his first public appearance in one of the few safe places he had left. armstrong had just stepped down as the chairman of livestrong days before the foundation's annual ride for the roses charity biking event in austin, texas. he was surrounded by more than 4,000 cyclists, many of them cancer survivors. >> obviously it's been an interesting and as i said the other night, at times v

he was an incredible competitor after lance armstrong and lance armstrong, as betty said, went after greg lamond. do you think lance armstrong gets it, bill? >> i think he gets that he should get it, and i think what we're seeing here is he's really struggling with it. what's interesting to me is there's sort of parallel views of this going on. there's a lot of people who are skeptical, but i was reading all the reactions today from jonathan and tyler hamilton and frankie. they have all acknowledged how hard it is just to do what he's done, and frankie in a report today was saying number yuntil you sit down and start talking to usada you don't know how hard that is. the people who are there and made the mistakes he did in a smaller way, they seem to have more empathy for him than everyone else. interesting. >> oprah asked about paying off allegations that he attempted to pay off usada or somebody in his world attempted to pay off usada. let's listen to what he said. >> last wednesday night travis tie gert ceo of usada told 60 minutes sports that someone on your team offered a donatio

i've spoken to people close to lance armstrong. they said that's the primary reason for coming forward, is that he wants to be a competitive triathlete. all of those events are controlled by usada. yet, usada has said, if you want to come back in, you need to actually admit that that our 15 years of research into your past, you need to admit that the people who testified under oath that you bullied them, you need to say that's true. he actually, instead of that, he drew a line last night with oprah winfrey and said, no, it's not true. i did not bully people into doing anything they didn't want to do. i may have bullied people who accused me of things, which doesn't make him very sympathetic, but i didn't do anything in terms of facilitating doping in cycling. i think that's what's going to trip him up going forward. >> all right. stick around. we're going to come back a little later in the program and talk to you about the manti te'o hoax. thanks. >>> other news overseas in north africa. we're learning more details about the hostag
