From 60 Minutes:
Is Lance Armstrong still lying?
Lance Armstrong admitted to doping for the first time in an interview with Oprah Winfrey last week. But Travis Tygart, the director of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, says Armstrong lied to Winfrey and withheld the truth on key issues. Scott Pelley reports.

OK, that makes sense then. He lied to Oprah about NOT doping in 2009/10 because he'd still be in line for criminal conspiracy charges because the statute of limitations is 5 years.
It seemed like he was lying when he said he was clean for those races.
I guess we'll get another round of Oprah interviews in 2015/16 when he can't be pursued criminally. That way we'll finally sort of hear the truth.

Report: Lance Armstong refuses to repay $12 million Tour de France bonuses
"Lance Armstrong is refusing to refund the nearly $12 million of bonus money he received for winning the Tour de France in 2002, 2003, and 2004, according to a USA Today report.
Tailwind Sports, the owner of Armstong’s cycling team, had bonuses built into their contract with Armstrong that paid the cyclist extra for winning the Tour de France. However, in 2004 the company withheld the bonus thanks to suspicions that Armstrong doped in order to win the titles. After a lengthy court battle in which Armstrong testified under oath that he never took performance-enhancing drugs, the company paid Armstrong his bonus."

The juiced thoroughbreds on the team during his two-year tenure, namely Armstrong, ostracized McCarty and anyone else who didn’t get intimate with a needle.

A Dallas promotions company is suing Lance Armstrong to repay $12m in bonuses that it paid him for winning the Tour de France. Armstrong, who now admits that he used performance-enhancing drugs, has been stripped of his seven victories in the race.
SCA Promotions filed its lawsuit Thursday, in Dallas district court. The company tried to withhold the money in 2005 because of doping allegations but ultimately settled with Armstrong in arbitration. Now SCA says Armstrong's admission proves a conspiracy to cheat and defraud the company into paying him millions.
On Wednesday, SCA's lawyer, Jeffrey Tillotson, told CNN: "We made our demand for the return of the money we paid him for winning the Tour de France races where the titles were stripped. Mr Armstrong and his legal team have not complied with that demand.
"But both he and his lawyers almost taunted us and said if we are ever stripped of those titles, we will give you the money back. We will simply ask him to finally live up to his word and give that money back."
The lawsuit also targets Armstrong's agent, Bill Stapleton, as a defendant.
Armstrong's attorney did not immediately return a message.
It has also been reported that Armstrong could face criminal charges in the US.

But the whistle-blower case has the potential to cause the most damage to Armstrong’s bank accounts. His estimated worth is about $125 million, but in federal whistle-blower lawsuits, a court or jury can award triple damages, which in this case could add up to an award of more than $90 million.

Hello,
I only wish that Johan Bruyneel could be asked a few awkward questions too.
