The Armstrong Twitter Spat

posted by Neil Browne

I knew I’d be asked to comment on the Oprah/Lance Armstrong interview. When the producer of a radio program calls me they ask to hear about the infamous tweet Armstrong sent that ultimately got me fired from Versus. As you can see it’s a pretty innocuous tweet. I’m guessing I sent it out just as Armstrong was looking at Twitter while fired up on a mix of Michelob Ultra combined with FRS.

Speaking over the video Winfrey describes Armstrong’s accomplishments in a serious tone: world champion, fighting cancer, returns from near death to professional cycling and winning seven straight Tours. Reminds the audience the hardships he endured coming from a single parent home. Scene opens to Armstrong seated on a sofa inside his Austin, Texas home with Winfrey positioned in front of him. Let the redemption begin… As we’re all aware Lance Armstrong is going to sit down with Oprah Winfrey for a 90 minute interview. It will be...

posted by Neil Browne

Below is in full the USADA letter. This is the opening salvo of what is to come later today. After reading it, it’s my understanding that the active riders who gave testimony to USADA and admitted their role in doping will receive some kind of sanction. I don’t think it will be two...
