Lance Armstrong Admits Doping to Oprah

Written by Pat's Papers | Friday, 18 January 2013 9:37 AM

Lance Armstrong is on the front page of the Austin American-Statesman this morning, the day after his 90-minute Oprah interview. During the sit-down Armstrong admitted to doping and called himself an “arrogant bully.” This was just part one—the interview continues tonight—but already people are wondering if Armstrong, despite the barrage of self-deprecating adjectives, did enough to restore his public image. As one PR professional put it: “He seemed to lack real empathy; he lacked contrition and didn’t address his plans for the future; and he parsed his words too finely, as if he was trying hard to ‘win’ the interview.”
